Hey everyone
I have been having problems with my desktop, this time the icons and task bar disappeared. I was alerted that there were some torjan that have been founded by Avast, which was removed at the time, and then soon after the icons and task bar disappeared.
Not knowing what was wrong i restarted my machine, the problem persisted and on start up once windows loaded up a error came out saying a there is a missing dll. sockins32.dll, i think, not have the icons and task bar I then went about using the task manager so that i use anti-malware and other cleanup programs.
I used Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to try to remove the problems which it did at first the error also disappeared, but about 15 or so minute after windows loaded without problem the icons and task bar will suddenly disappear again and then going back to Malwarebytes the trojan vundo returns. I cant seem to remove these trojan.
