Start Menu Disappearing

Hello

I’m a cautious internet user. I mostly use firefox for browsering but when I do use IE… I’m even careful then about the sites to visit and not to. I even have ActiveX control disabled for IE (unless it’s site like windows update and what not). Anyway, the other day while browsering with firefox, I saw my java plug-in pop up when it shouldn’t and all of a sudden my anti-virus saying, I had a Trojan and it scanned it and deleted it.

But, since then… my start menu has been acting weird. I’ve provided a screen shot of my start menu. When it does that, I would either have to restart the computer or restart “explorer.exe”. I’ve even ran full virus scan on safe mode to check if any other viruses still exists or not. This start menu thing is getting annoying. Any help hint on what to do?

Thanks,
Syedur.

I had the same problem, never did find out the problem. I don't think I had a virus/trogan. I had feeling it had to do with the uxtheme patcher, I did restore the patch to no effect.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
