I recently removed spyware and now my comp. cant find files ALSO I cant display any icons on my desktop area,and my programs arent closeing properly  :-/What scanner have you used?ADAWARE Ihope this is right IJUST followed inst. I dont kow much about comp.What have you removed?
Ok heres the deal.
Im using windowsxp professional.
I had spysherrif, i found instructions on a forum and it worked.
What i did to remove spysherrif was do a adaware scan then a ediew scan then i usued cleanup then hijack this.
However my desktop icons dissapered, clicking on the desktop does nothing. I do have a taskbar and start button.
Also I cant install programs, windows installer feezes in the middle.
Also some services were disabled by someone such as remote assistance.
I do not have my windows installation cd.
I hope I explained everthing well enough.
Thanks in advance for the help.You may wish to restore whatever you have removed and try programs that are easier to configure and allow for more efficient/friendly REMOVAL.

Also be certain to disable system restore. You had best scan in safe mode.

Pick from this list:

AVG Free
-- Anti virus scanner
Adaware SE Personal
-- Anti spyware scanner
Microsoft Antispyware
-- Anti spyware scanner. Windows XP Home and Professional only.
Spybot Search & Destroy
-- Anti spyware scanner
ZoneAlarm Free
-- Free firewall - more user friendly
Sygate Personal
-- Free firewall - more configuration options
well system restore isnt working so i cant restore BACK to before the removal .
if you have any solution for my situation that im in now then ill be outta the woods.
thanks in advance for the helpI was actually referring to the back-ups most programs create when they remove files. See if these backups are still present.
