Re: HJT Log Task Bar Icons Missing Your logs are clean. 
I don't think the other problems are malware related.
Here are some links related to the Touchpad:

»209.167.114.38/support/techsuppo···1279.htm

»209.167.114.38/support/techsuppo···0770.htm
»209.167.114.38/support/techsuppo···0762.htm

This article is on troubleshooting Toshiba Power Saver /Power Management:
»209.167.114.38/support/techsuppo···1051.htm
There's also a link on the left of those pages for Drivers and Downloads.
There is also a Toshiba laptop forum at:
»laptopforums.toshiba.com/tshb/
Possibly a good fit right here for the System Tray icons missing would be the Microsoft Help forum:
»Microsoft Help
Go to start > run and copy and paste next command in the field:
ComboFix /u
Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /
Then hit enter.
This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and resets System Restore again.
Create a Restore Point
•Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
•Select Create a Restore Point and then Next.
•In the box for "Restore point description", enter a descriptive name and press Create
•When the "Restore Point Created" window appears, click Close
Run Disk Cleanup
•Go to Start > Run and type the below line:
cleanmgr
•Click OK
•If you have more than one drive, select the drive Windows is installed on
•Click OK
•When Disk Cleanup opens, select the More Options tab
•In the System Restore section (bottom of window), click Cleanup
•In the confirmation window that opens, click Yes[
Now click on the Disk Cleanup tab and select the following items:
•Downloaded Program Files
•Temporary Internet Files
•Recycle Bin
•Temporary Files
Click OK
in the confirmation window, select Yes (Disk Cleanup will close).
You need to go to Windows Update and install all the critical updates or your system will remain vulnerable to exploits that there have long been fixes for that you don't have installed. That includes XP Service Pack 3, and updates that wer issued since then.
There are several free utilities you can use to help keep malware off your system:
A HOSTS file will prevent Internet Explorer from communicating with sites known to be associated with adware or spyware. A good regularly updated HOST file is MVPS HOSTS File, available at »www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm.
A free non-resident utility to prevent the installation of ActiveX-based malware is JavaCool's SpywareBlaster. For real-time protection, there is SpywareGuard. Both are available at »www.javacoolsoftware.com/products.html.
I recommend reading Tony Klein's article So How did I get Infected in the First Place? at »www.spywareinfoforum.com/index.p···ic=60955
Does your malware problem appear resolved?

| I think all of the malware has been removed. The problems with the touch pad resetting to the default values and the missing icons on the System Tray, are probably caused by something the malware altered in Windows.
Thank-you for your assistance. | |
