Desktop and taskbar keeps disappearing Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,

im new here so any help would be appreciated.  Since last night by desktop and taskbar keeps disappearing, ive read many forums on the net regarding this and still found no solution, its Vista, on a Fujitsu Siemens laptop.  I read first that reinstalling your web browser would help (the problem only came when online) but that didnt help and now its happening when I click into folders.
Norton revealed nothing, ive used task manager to bring it back up and its fine until I enter a folder. I also read that something downloaded could be to blame, so find out what folder it does it in then delete what is making it do it, but now its happening with every folder.

Any other suggestions would be brilliant, im not amazing with computers but know a little....any ideas please please please????????

Thanks

I had the problem of constantly disappearing and reappearing icons and taskbar. Explorer.exe kept crashing according to the eventview. after reading many forums a tried a program called "SUPERAntiSpyware". Turned out I had a 
Trojan called Vundo. Funny thing is I tried Ad-aware before, which in fact discovered something other than just cookies but appearently didn't clean my PC completly. SUPERAntiSpyware is the way to go

I ran the SUPERAntiSpyware and my problems went away I would highly recommend it to anyone with a virus problem also I figured out that the screen flashing is usually the result of a trojan virus picked up from downloads so watch what you download and always scan it =)

I suggest running SUPERAntiSpyware  or any other spyware programs in safe mode, sometimes if you run the programs in mormal mode it won't pick out the pests because some of them are running processes..Then re-boot,then it should be ok. I sometimes run two spyware programs,you will always find one program picks out pests that other programs don't

I had the same problem.  The desktop icons would completly dissapear, or they would show up every few seconds and dissapear again.  I downloaded SUPERAntiSpyware and the problem seems to be resolved.

well I must agree it did work for me, but small fore-warning, if the virus has caused enough damage it can take down windows in the prosses, if this happens reboot in safe mode with network conections, and go here for repairs: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm hope that helps some with other users who have been hit as I have

I plug my Flashdrive into my laptop to watch a movie, when doing that I notice that all my icon on the desktop were done with the taskbar. I restarted it & waited,  thinking that the icon will come back but nothing happen. I did this over & over & nothing change.

something similar happened to me.  First, I went to safemode and ran superanti-spyware.  If found a trojan that sent a false message to stop internet explorer from loading. after the scan was complete and the trojan removed I restarted my computer in normal mode.  I then pressed alt, control delete and brought up task manager.   I then went to file and started a new task.  I entered browsed and look at what was on my desktop.  I saw that my internet explorer was missing so I opened up google chrome and went to the microsoft website and downloaded internet explorer.  after internet explorer downloaded I restarted my computer and all my desktop icons reappeared
