I recently used spyhunter software to remove spyware and after I rebooted I can't get my desktop to load. It says that I am logged into windows and I can access my task manager but otherwise I am dead in the water. Some of the parasites were identified in my registry so I used the wipe function from Norton Utilities to delete those infected keys. I am sure this has something to do with my systems problems. I basically get all the way to the point where my desktop is about to switch to the background picture I set and then it doesn't load all the way. The mouse is not frozen and I am logged into windows. I tried to boot in safe mode, load last good configuration, etc. but to no avail. Since I can access my task manager and the regedit function is there a way to identify what I wiped or reset it back to the original configuration? Any answers to this or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Help please.


 
Its hard to tell what you wiped out.

If you can post the keys you cleaned we might be able to get your settings

I am currently working with the software provider to find this information out. I can't remember or access that information on my own yet. If you know of a way to see a log of that activity that I can access from the task manager let me know. Thanks for your suggestion.
