Hi folks,
I've got an issue where explorer.exe will not run. Thus the desktop and windows task bar do not appear. There's a full explanation of the situation at: http://www.d-a-l.com/help/showthread.php?p=146403

There I was told to post a HJT log in this forum area.

So, is it a nasty causing this issue?

Looking at the log it appears that lots of service files are missing? Seems a bit odd to me.

Okay... (thinking as I look through the log), I see that there is a "-" in front of many of the service names. This happened about a month ago too. I removed them all manually. Yet I see it has now happened again. So, I guess I'd like to know if the HJT log reveals what is sticking this "-" into the front of the service file locations.

With thanks,

Jonathan


Here's the log:

Here's some additional background info to go with the HJT log.

1) I ran Ewido online scan. It turned up a few cookies but nothing else.

2) I ran AdAware SE 1.05. It's results log was the removal of some cookies.

3) I ran Spybot S&D. The result was:

An update...
I did a system restore to a point about 5 days ago. A restore point had been saved when I uninstalled an application on that day.
The system now starts up as it should. Explorer.exe loads, along with all the other stuff on the sytem.
I'd be grateful if the following HJT log was looked over just to make sure there is nothing running on the system that shouldn't be. I am still somewhat suspicious as to why the computer died as it did.
Here's the latest HJT log from the computer running in its current (working) state.

Nothing open but hijackthis and click "fix checked"


Reboot


That is about all visible in hijackthis.

Thanks Neal,
Nice to know it's "clean"
I'll do those spring cleaning things now.

I guess I'll never know why Windows stopped loading properly. Oh well.

Glad I don't have something nasty to get rid of.

Regards,

Jonathan
