How do I remove privacy_danger virus and restore active desktop to it's original state?

Tags: privacy_danger
Acidentally downloaded a privacy_danger virus.  After attempting to remove the virus by deleteing the privacy_dange folder and files, I now have lost my active desktop (completely white desktop).  Also get an intermittent pop-up error message saying 'Cannot find privacy_danger ...' when logging on and on occasion when using explorer.

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is.

Hi Wade_OU812,

I just noticed that this is your first question at EE.
Welcome and thank you for using Experts-Exchange service.

I'm glad to assume that the problem has been resolved?
In case you're not aware, you can also award points to more than one experts by clicking the "Accept Multiple solutions" button, you can then distribute the points(however you like) to the experts whose comments were able to help you or comments from experts that you found useful.

Since InDiGenus also suggested the same tool, if you like to split points a Mod or a Zone Advisor can re-open this thread for you, just say so.

Thank you.
