So, I had given up on the problem computer and just for the fun of it yesterday morning I cut it on. It booted up normally. I ran about a dozen anti virus cleaners and programs and they cleaned out all kinds of infected files. Problem solved? NO! This morning, the same ol crap happened. Could not click on icons again. Did a restore to yesterday and now its ok. Running cleanup programs as I type this (on another computer). Where in the hell could that virus be hiding.
