He should be able to go back to a system restore point and be ok.

Subject: [windows2000] XP Question



My brother called me a little while ago.  His home computer was acting up so
he ran ad-aware and scanned for a virus etc.  Ad-Aware cleaned a bunch of
junk off of there and so did the antivirus.  He is running XP Pro.

Now, every time he selects an item in the start menu or double clicks an
icon, the background goes away, the icons disappear, it hangs up, then they
all come back but the program never runs.  

To me, that says that explorer.exe is crashing.  But I am not sure why.  Can
anyone think of a virus that could cause that behavior.  It sounds virus
like to me.
