    Hello everyone i need some help. I know very little about computers but i am trying to figure out how to make my laptop run. yesterday i was looking for something using yahoo and clicked on the wrong site and then got a bunch of pop ups, i managed to get the pop ups to go away easy because after i shut internet explorer off the pop ups stopped. Shortly after that everything froze on my screen so i restarted. and thats when the trouble started, when my laptop came back on the start bar and icons flashed on but then went away and will not come back until i restart and then they still just flash on and go away after a minute. when i do manage to click an icon quickly enough the program runs fine and is not slowed down really at all, i just want to know how to get my start bar to come up and stay up and i think its connected to a trojan horse or worms.

    i ran AVG, Search and destroy, and adaware and got found that i had trojan horses and was told by a friend that because my start bar isnt working even when i hit the windows key that i have worms too. i was able to get rid of most of them except one thing called smitfraud-c.core service wont go away. I dont know much and i need someone to explain it to me in terms an average person would understand. i dont know what to do from here i have done everything i can think of.

    Thanks everyone for your help in advance.
