HELP : PC froze up on desktop..........
 

OK, I was running TrendMicro House call tonight while I was out. Sometime during the scan, Norton found a bug of some sort and deleted the file. I didn't write the name down......... I ran some other software ( adaware, spybot,etc. ) and rebooted the machine.

I get a window : Explorer.EXE - Unable to locate Coponent
This application failed to start because SHDOCVW.dll was not found. Reinstalling application may fix this problem.

This window is placed on my deskstop.... if I click off of it, I still have a desktop with no icons, the dame thing is not loading up ?

WTF is this file ? How do I get it back to square 1 again ?

Here is the file you are missing.

Unzip to extract the file to º
º your windows\system directory.

If you can access safemode this might work.

When I tried to log in on safe mode, I got the same message and a blank black screen behind it, no icons.........

Last known safe configuation........ same message.

put in the win2k or xp disk and run setup again.
at the second screen choose to repair the installation.

The Feds are seizing your machine. They feel Scanlon may be a threat to our National Security...

I copied the file to disk from this pc, plugged it in, I can't get no response to promp from the mouse. The mouse arrow moves around, I have no start menu, no Icons, just the background wallpaper I have of the grandkids on it.

Can't do anything.............

Can you boot to command prompt and copy from there?

OK, I have Windows XP Home Edition on the pc, I have another Windows XP Home Edition disc, it's not the same disc that is downloaded to this pc.

Will that work ? I question it because of the product dodes being different.

Further more, i copied the zip file to disc, but I can't open it up on the CD rom anyways. Will the windows open it up automatically ?

My damn pc guy( that built the damn thing ) is still in bed catching his beauty sleep.......

I was able to go there, but I'm not far enough advanced to know what to do with it.

Well the pc guy woke up, be here arond noon......

Here it is .......... MHTMLRedir.Exploit
