Unfortunately I do not have the disk. My laptop is a sager and when I ordered it it did not come with the disk, which sucks. Is the disk absolutely necessary? I could look for torrent maybe.

No I'm not seeing the desktop at all. I'm just maneuvering around with with the task manager.

This is usually caused when an infection has not been completely removed. You may need to use bootable anti-virus CD's to check and see if there are any leftovers. Here are links to a couple of good ones:

Dr.Web LiveCD:

Avira AntiVir Rescue System:

If you need assistance starting your computer up off of those CD's, then please let me know.

Thanks for the quick response. The computer itself is working fine, I'm actually posting this from it so I think I should be able to run those from here. Will check back soon.
