So, there I am, playin' games as usual. When the game ends and there's some down time. So i'm in Garena, chatting on clan chat when all of a sudden my start bar disappears. I immediately say, 'whattttt and reboot'. *Which may have been a bad idea...* anyway
So windows takes a little longer to start up...
And when I get in, there is this window popped up: - no start bar - no icons on desktop - (background still though!) Fux yeah silver lining?!
And it reads as follows:
*To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program.
Name: Windows Explorer
Publisher: Microsoft Corporation -------- close message
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Data Execution Prevention helps protect against damage from viruses and other security threats. "What should I do?"
this is all the information I have and I don't have long before a blue screen hits me to dump physical memory or whatever.
Anyway, halp?! I'll check this thread again when I can if anyones had this happen or knows what it is / how to fix. *I dunno how I can fix it without mah trusty start bar & precious icons*

Google.com
downloaded
Spybot s & d Scan, fix selected.
Advanced options : startup programs (remove ALL OF THEM) ...... and another option for current programs in memory (REMOVE ALL O THEM)
Virus scan after
Download Avast,Onfire,mccafe or norton, whatever you prefere, update, scan.
Have windows CD handy. Information is easy to save. Sometimes your operating system is not.
Also have you trick ctrl-alt-delt -> run Explorer.exe to see if that helps?
If spybot says "I need to restart to fix selected errors, you 100% have a virus. Restart.

When I go to any page that seems to be able to help it gives me:
Unable to connect
Oddly enough, I can go to TL/Youtube/google/etc...
But anything I google I can't get to. ;o
Ugh, I can't D/L spybot S&D because I can't connect to any pages that I don't frequently visit.
(I'm usin' da firefox)
And yeah, I can't run explorer.exe ;p

Some time ago I had virus with made my start bar randomly dissapear also, later on I couldn't enter control panel and other things... ended up scanning comp with all possible online scanners, asking for help on computer forums (they are often able to help, remove this crap from your computer).But after all I decided to just reinstall windows.Its the last thing you probably gonna do, but it will help for sure^^
And btw don't use IE, if you do

PRELIMINARY EXCUSE TO NOT PLAY IN SHOWMATCH?

Mahnini, don't troll. --;
Zerg, when I click the link it closes firefox. And when I re-open it via the support screen it has a tab of Windows XP home page when I restore the pages I was using last. I dunno why that is as I don't frequent Win XP page. 
zzzz I don't think I have a good anti-virus installed on this comp, and I can't seem to download any as I can't get to the pages... fux fux fux
Fux.

Sounds like core system files where modified... like your explorer.exe restore point(Safe mode mash f5 f7 during start up till you get the option to start up in safe mode) would be best shot also easiest way to get everything back till then. You could also do the troubleshooting if possible

Can you connect to any of the File transfer sites if so just get someone to upload spybot snd among other things like windows defender, ad-aware, and try to get Microsoft updates. Get TL to host it if you ask nice admin with those rights..
Also at itachii lol don't use ie, ie vs ff in terms of security is pretty null argument main diff is how they handle things. FF is nearly purely reactive in its security patching when major holes are discovered. IE is nearly purely proactive where Microsoft higher teams to search left and right for exploits to close and on occasion miss things that will need to be updated but usually takes awhile because they want to include anything else they found at that time in the patch.
Also did you do anything that boot up like open any emails visit some questionable sites click on a garena ad by accident.
+ Show Spoiler +almost thought what mahnini posted
Also I've never had virus problems in all my years of computing and i don't use anything but a router firewall. Makes me wonder what you people do to get viruses.

Is formatting an option? It will save you tons of time if you don't have any important documents on your pc.
|
start->run->msconfig->startup
shutdown everything / reboot
or you can try safemode just spam f8 while it boots not too much though or else your keyboard might flip out and not work

OH MAHNINI TRYING TO BE NICE NOW. NOT WORKING, I SEE THROUGH YOUR LIES.
|
K, thanks Zerg. I can save the file but how will I open it with no icons or windows explorer ? Oh wait, it should be there in safe mode if it finishes d/ling right?
|

Yes, but if you have too many icons on desktop it may go off screen on safe mode because safe mode turns resolution down.
|
Wouldn't booting up in safe mode and using a restore point be a good option?

not sure if it will let you manually start explorer, but you can start explorer.exe by hitting ctrl alt delete and then going to start process
