Hi, here's the solution:

Open 'Control Panel' and select 'Add/Remove Programs'. Check for the program entries of WinSrvReg and Friend Greetings. If found, uninstall the program and reboot.

For further information have a look here:

W32.Friendgreet.worm

Hope this helps,
Carl

Hi Leta, glad it worked out, however, the thanks really should go to JmC who's a regular here - he's the one who originally found the solution several months back :)

Carl.

A disappearing taskbar can also occur when using a dual monitor system and looking only at the secondary monitor if the vertical resolution of the primary monitor is higher (as happened with my nvidia card). Make your secondary monitor primary, then disable the new secondary monitor to get it back.
