My desktops for all 4 users have disappeared. Can anyone
help me in knowing why?

The only way I can run anything on the computer is
through control alt delete.

Is this a virus? I have the latest Norton virus checker
installed or could it be something to do with a tropical
fish screen saver we now have.

Any advice welcomed

thanks - Martin

Are you certain that NAV is correctly configured and updated?

Most of the "free" screen savers available on the Internet come with viruses
or spyware.

The best software in the world can't protect you from yourself.

If you mean "monitor.exe", that is the sign of a worm.
