    My pc is like fried. Spam bypasses my popup blockers and comes up. It bypasses McAfee and downloads sh** I dont want and It set my homepage as a Spam Ad How the hell does spam set itself as your homepage?! =\

    And now, I cant see my start bar or any icons. I would show you. But I cant open paint. =\ Im scanning the Computer but I dont even know if its running anymore.

    Ah but that requires the use of the Start Bar. Which has vanished without a trace. D:

    Restart. If it doesn't come.

    Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

    See if there's anything, most likely nothing that's harming you. Then change the tab to "processes". This is a very fragile technique, so don't delete anything that you think you shouldn't. It's pretty hard to recover at times. See if there's any distinguishable spam programs or such, then end them.

    Hopefully that'll help.

    It looks like Explorer.exe isn't running. If it ends, your icons and start menu disappear. Though I'm no expert...

    Did you try restarting your computer?

    Also, when/if you use Ctrl+Alt+Delete, if Explorer isn't listed under Processes, there's your problem.

    Yes, that's a common issue. Can be fixed easily though.

    Actually. It's pretty easy if I remember. That happened to me a hell of a time ago.

    Try to go to the Task Manager and press "new task", and open Internet Explorer. Hopefully everything will be fixed.

    If that doesn't work, I'll gladly google it for you lawl.

    btw; thx for rep dudez.

    edit;;
    go to task manager and double click the empty space border. I've read some **** about that.

    Help or no?

    I think you can get access to Explorer.exe by going to File > New Task (Run...) in the task manager, and then typing in the location of Explorer. But I've never done it before and I don't wanna break your computer >< -Still searching-.

    EDIT: And I THINK Explorer is located in C:\Windows, but I'm not sure...

    EDIT AGAIN: Yeah, it's in my Windows folder. So try putting C:\Windows [You might want to capitalize it: WINDOWS]\explorer.exe in the Run prompt, if you...Er...Want T.T...This would be completely experimental on my part, since I've never done it, and I don't believe I can test it since Explorer's already running for me.

    IF the start bar inst there: go to the bottom of your desktop and see if you hid it.
