So, started when i installed updates (also was trying to watch a tv show online and got weird pop ups)
Had to restart for some reason and....

I have no desktop icons, no start menu.
Using task manager to try and do anything, however I cannot do anything, cannot run any anti virus scans, malwarebytes, avg, superantispyware nothing. I also cant run hijack this.
Tried to reinstall through downloading malwarebytes a few times, but still wont run and I cannot fully change the name, it still references the name.

Cannot access explorer.exe

Cannot system restore - only date available is todays. I now have it turned off.
I am in safe mode right now and all still the same as in regular.
I have tried renaming these files but its not working

The worst part is now the internet is redirected everytime i try to even search out software to fix this.

I did a hijack this ONCE i was allowed but cannot access results, also got a lot of weird errors while it was running. When i click on your links to hijack this to redownload and rename (as per instructions) I get "pagecannotbedisplayed"

Have tried a few rootkey suggestions but the keys arent there to delete.

I am wondering if i go to a store, buy mcafee (which i already own, just cant access), norton, something anything, then pop the disk in will it automatically work since its off disk? I wont buy anything online right now at least not on this PC.

So I am using on of the kids laptops to search for anything i can find, but everything i try on this PC just doesnt work.

Any help is appreciated!~

Hi shelly0923...welcome to SAF.

What updates were you trying to install? What's the operating system?

Try installing Malwarebytes to a clean USB stick and see if it will run when you transfer it over to the affected computer.

Locate Explorer.exe in C:\Windows and right-click > select Properties. Let us know the exact file size.

Is the Recovery Console installed? You'd know if it was as it would be an option on the boot menu each time you start the computer.

Do you have a full XP CD or a recovery disk that came with the computer? What's the make and model of the computer?

hi! thx for askin

What updates were you trying to install? What's the operating system? Just the ones windows auto downloads i dont really check and mostly never install them but i did XP sp2

Try installing Malwarebytes to a clean USB stick and see if it will run when you transfer it over to the affected computer. have done this also did this with HJT as well, doesnt work. I did just do it with combofix from a usb and got it to run, said it had to restart, i let it, disk checked itself (blue screen upon startup) yet nothing has changed same problems still

Locate Explorer.exe in C:\Windows and right-click > select Properties. Let us know the exact file size. .98mb (not .exe just says explorer)

Is the Recovery Console installed? You'd know if it was as it would be an option on the boot menu each time you start the computer. Im going to have to say no on this one im be 90% sure

Do you have a full XP CD or a recovery disk that came with the computer? What's the make and model of the computer? I can find one but really really dont want to do that HP pavilion a714x


update... i am running combofix again and its doing something way different than it did before and im at stage 41 of what is supposed to be 50 stages, hoping i can at least get a log since i have never gotten this far before, when its done i believe i can do a hijack this - since i figured out how to rename it proberly - I am working on laptop to respond, not infected pc.

Locate the HP recovery disk and put it in the CD tray. Restart the computer. Let me know exactly what options you are presented with. Don't do anything else for the moment. I just need to know if you can do a repair install that will leave your data intact.

The other option is to make a Linux CD and boot with it to back up all your data, then reinstall XP.

ok ihave no disc my paperwork (i actually found) says Recovery, built in, preinstalled system recovery so no discs to lose sad.gif
maybe i can figure out how to access the built in recovery

I just checked and it seems there is only the option to recover, not to repair.

What makes you think that a virus caused this? It's not unknown for failed update installations to bugger up a computer.

i know is it f10 that on boot i can recover i just dont want to, i may take it in, idk.

I will keep researching. i will keep trying to get a highjack log tmrw. Thank you

On a clean computer, download the Malwarebytes setup file to the USB stick, then run it and install Malwarebytes to the USB stick, transfer it over and see if it will run. Try renaming the file on the USB as well.

It's a long shot, but it might just work.

ok Malwarebytes found and supposedly fixed 107 issues - reboot and still no desktop icons, no start menu BUTTTTTTT i seem to no longer have this re-direct virus as i was able to go to and attemp to also get superantispyware - only prob with that is it said i had to delete older version first - but cannot access add/remove programs sad.gif
so i think alot of bad stuff is gone, but same issue of no desktop icons no start menu is still there.... how should i proceed? I will try my best to geta HJT log, its just hard to find a site that will allow me to save source as... also i know MWB saved a notepad i just cant seem to find it...

???

Thanks

Run MBAM and click on the Logs tab. Open the most recent log and post it.

When you boot from the Knoppix CD, only Knoppix will load. Windows is not involved at all. If you can get a clean copy of Explorer.exe from another XP system, copy it to a USB drive, load Knoppix and copy Explorer.exe to C:\Windows, replacing the existing infected or corrupted file, you could be back in business.

In C:\Windows there should be a file called Explorer. It looks like a folder with a looking glass on it. What happens if you click on that?
HKEd
As well as the above, open the task manager and click on the Applications tab. Click on New Task, then copy/paste the bold text below to the Open field:

regedit /e c:\winlogon.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"

Open C: using the task manager, then locate Winlogon.txt and open it. Copy/paste the contents of the file here.

I asked you to do three things:

1. Post the MBAM log.

2. Click on the Explorer/lookinglass icon.

3. Run the registry export from the task manager.

You did none of the above. How am I supposed to help you if you won't do what I ask?

QUOTE(HKEd @ Oct 27 2009, 06:50 PM) *

Run MBAM and click on the Logs tab. Open the most recent log and post it.

When you boot from the Knoppix CD, only Knoppix will load. Windows is not involved at all. If you can get a clean copy of Explorer.exe from another XP system, copy it to a USB drive, load Knoppix and copy Explorer.exe to C:\Windows, replacing the existing infected or corrupted file, you could be back in business.

In C:\Windows there should be a file called Explorer. It looks like a folder with a looking glass on it. What happens if you click on that?


Will do when I get home from work -
As far as the explorer when i go there there is not the thing with a looking glass

As for the explorer when i click on it it says cannot acces, file path blah blah, there are 2 explorer one is .exe and the other is .scf

I do have a clean system right here to try to copy the explorer... but will wait til i hear further
HKEd
Explorer.scf is the file with the folder/looking glass icon. What happens if you click on that?

The only way to replace Explorer.exe is through the Recovery Console or Knoppix. Let's see if the recovery console can be installed. Open the task manager and click on the Applications tab. Click the New Task button and copy/paste the bold text to the Open box;

C:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons

If it works, you should get a Windows Setup Dialog Box describing the Recovery Console option. To confirm the installation, click Yes.

Restart the computer. The "Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" should appear on the startup menu.

Let me know how that goes.

Ok when i click on either of the explorers i am told access is denied no such file, etc...
I will do your next step when I get home.... Will I lose stuff - i.e. my paint shop pro, animation shop, pictures, files doing this?

Also, Knoppix when I googled "how to" very extremly complicated instructions were found, that to be honest scares me very much! I have the disk ready to go, just afraid.

What about what you suggested before about using one of the laptops to copy explorer.exe onto a flash drive then replacing mine - is that still an option?

Can you tell me if you see a virus or anything very bad in the logs I posted? Like how screwed am I? and do you believe this could have happened by installing updates?

Thanks!~

ok as i expected on reboot - no icons, but if i run the usb i get everything back - my ? is,,, should I delete the explorer and replace it with the one on the usb?
I did get asked explorer is not currently your default browser do you want to set it, so I said yes...
I will try one more reboot and see if I am fixed....
If i am not I will wait to see what you say - i think i should just replace the file on my C with the file on the usb but am not 100% sure.

At least i am 100% operational WITH the usb...
HKEd
If you run the Explorer.exe on the USB stick, it will work because it has not been damaged.

As the Recovery Console is now not an option, the only way to replace the damaged Explorer.exe is using Knoppix. Don't worry about using it - it's really easy and none of your data will be lost.

Copy Explorer.scf to the USB as well as Explorer.exe.

Put the Knoppix CD in the drive and restart the computer. Wait until all the icons have loaded on the desktop. The drive icons will be there as well. Click on each and familiarise yourself with what's what. Attach the USB drive and see if you can copy/paste files freely.

If you encounter a problem, right-click on Hda1 (or whatever C: drive is) and select 'Change read/write mode'. You'll get this message: "Do you really want to change the partition to be writable?". Click Yes.

Delete Explorer.exe and Explorer.scf in C:\Windows.

Copy Explorer.exe and Explorer.scf from the USB drive to C:\Windows.

Shutdown Knoppix and reboot. Let me know how it goes.

QUOTE

MBAM has cleaned a lot, but I need to check for a file called Batmeter16.dll. It's likely that this is what corrupted Explorer.exe.

QUOTE
Like how screwed am I?

If you can replace Explorer.exe using Knoppix, we should be able to clean the computer.

No.
