Forum Rules

When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.


If you have not received help after three days, please post a link to your topic HERE.

Also, after running Unhide, my icons on my desktop are back, as well as the Programs on the left side of the start menu, but on the right side only "computer" appears. The links to "documents", "control panel" etc. are not there.


I also had a System Fix outbreak last 2 days...I was able to restore desktop and shortcuts to Control Panel/Documents/ etc...However the shortcuts in "All Programs" In Start area are mostly missing.
I did not delete any temp files...Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you. I did already use unhide and it didnt work. I have since manually added the more important shortcuts on my own.
