How can I get rid of this? (virus, adware)
Yesterday, I accidentally downloaded a virus.
It was pretending to come from Windows, saying "your computer is infected, yada, yada, yada, buy the solution."
In my task manager, I saw the process: 41213704.exe
I installed Adaware from malwarebytes.org
It found some errors and I asked it to delete them.
41213704.exe doesn't appear anymore.
BUT:
Now I have the following issues:
- My desktop background image has vanished
- My desktop icons have vanished
- I can't create desktop shortcuts (if I right click on a file and select "send to", the option "desktop" doesn't appear).
- Adobe Dreamweaver Portable doesn't start and it gives the error "this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way"
Any idea what I can do?
Thanks in advance.
