ok , so the problem is that while surfing the internet i saw that i have 3
more symbols on desktop such as " protect your privacy" and stuf.
i did not remmember adding them so i deleted them.
but after few minuts they showed up again!
and then i see that i have like a red shield with an "x" in it , saying "
your computer might be in danger".
ok so i opened it up and my automatic updates are in red , no working and i
cant turn it on.
now it says " virus alert" but my antivirus says there is no virus now after
he deleated it.
now while the virus was in my pc , i think it "ate" programs in my pc , like
if i press " start" i cant see "programs" because its like... gone!!!!!!

Download the Free Version of Ad-Aware 2008 and scan your PC.
Afterward, restart your computer.

Unexplained computer behavior may be caused by deceptive software

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to
http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachi...php?board=10.0,
http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or another appropriate forum for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.
