press Ctlr+Alt+Del, this will bring up the task manager....Click the applications tab and then New Task. Type in Explorer and hit enter. this will restart the explorer which usually brings up the taskbar on the bottom of the screen. Also make sure the IDE cables are properly plugged into the CD-ROM and the Motherboard. Check CD-ROM Jumper settings too...

Go to Symantec and run a scan of your machine.  There is a Virus and Security scan.  Run both.  This will ID the virus.  They also have several tools to remove some of the viruses

If you are asking if it is a virus then no it is not.  However, it seems that it CAN but may not cause issues on Windows 98FE, 98SE and ME.  Which operating system are you using?

It happens alot.\nTry to delete it manually...find the location and the file and delete it.\nBut I have no patience with that, so I simply format and reinstall Windows...then I'm sure there are no viruses!\nI didnt like Norton, so I'm using Kaspersky now, but it also cant delete some viruses sometimes.\n\nEDIT: cant find it, ha? Hmm...I'd stick with formatting hard disk then. Sorry I didnt help :(

it actually isn't a virus, and system restore can't be performed (he can't get any desktop or start button icons), explorer.exe is failing to load into memory. my guesses are that a service upon startup is failing to start.\nwhat i'd suggest is to start windows in safe mode, and go to event viewer and check for system errors.\ni know how frustrating that could be. ;o)

Hard to tell - these things can be so tricky. Do you think someone installed it on your computer?? I would take it to Circuit City or something - apparently they can do things to clean it and they would know this answer I am sure. Otherwise, try to go to a site where there is a form about computer viruses and see if you can ask someone.

If the svchost.exe process is running from C:&#92;Windows&#92;System32&#92; then it is not a virus.  For information on what svchost.exe is and how to find the services each svchost.exe process is managing, you can read the following guide:\n\nhttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial129.html

It's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php
