[checker]

To start Explorer.exe and bring up the Desktop icons and Taskbar without

having to restart the computer; on the Taskmanager\Applications tab\click

New Task..." and type "Explorer.exe" (no quotes) and hit Enter. Another

temporary fix is to rename the Explorer.exe file in C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.exe,

to Explorer1.exe, then in the Registry; (Start\Run\type; "regedit" no quotes

and hit Enter), browse to the Winlogon key;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell (REG_SZ) and rename the data, from

Explorer.exe to Explorer1.exe...



These are just temporaty solutions so you can work the computer while you

can fix the actual cause which according to available information, is a

Vundo virus infection. To delete that virus, you need to scan your computer

with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware http://www.malwarebytes.org/



And just in case MBAM doesn't help, Vundofix should.
