I turned on my computer last night and all the shortcuts on my desktop don't work. My email program is gone. My Microsoft essentials is gone. My dvd drive is gone. I'm really freaking out here. I don't know what to do or what caused it. Can someone try to help me please. I forgot to mention that I'm using windows 7 64 bit.

I tried a system restore last night and the only restore point that was there was for yesterday afternoon. Hence it didn't work. The problem was still there.

ok I fixed my email by choosing repair windows essentials. I guess I'll have to just reinstall some of my programs. It's boggling my mind why it happened in the first place.

I agree with Jenny. Cathy, can you download Malwarebytes to another computer and transfer it to a flash drive? You can run it in Safe Mode from a flash drive. Malwarebytes also has something called Malwarebytes Chameleon that you can try. Running Malwarebytes on an Infected System

I didn't either until a few weeks ago when I was working on an infected computer. It was news to me, but a great find and it worked.
