I just had 2 anti virus programs running doing a full system scan. 1. Norton 360 Premier Edition and 2. HitManPro 32 bit. Then HitManPro found 2 things of maliushious software so it started to remove it. Then it said the system needed to be rebooted, so I rebooted the computer. Then after te Dell OS screen, it went to the Blue screen. I fixed that. When i was done and it booted normally i logged on and None of my desktop or taskbar was showing untill I went ot Windows Task Manager and typed in a new task "explorer.exe" and it ran the desktop and taskbar, but each time I start, I have to do that. Is there any way to fix that?
Thanks
