It opens itself as a scanning program, and detects errors. It cannot be closed. It will not let me open Task Manager.(CTRL-ALT-DEL) opens the standard options, but Task Manager is absent. When I boot up my computer now, my desktop of completely blank. I cannot access most files; it says almost every folder is "empty".
I managed to go into MSCONFIG startup, and shut-down three programs from "unknown"; this seems to have had some effect, as the fake scanner no longer opens... yet, the other symptoms persist: Still no icons on desktop; still cannot run task manager; still can't access files on harddrive.
Help me, Tendo Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.
Well, not only hope, but it'd be nice.

I suggest malware bytes.. It's free and awesome..

BTW, there is a paid version if you wont real time scanning.. The free version will still scan and remove nasties with all the charm of the paid version, it's just not real time you have to manually run a scan.
