no taskbar

[Losiman]

This just recently started: whenever I use a windows component like
Microsoft Word my taskbar and all the icons on my desktop disappear. I
can use Ctrl-Alt-Del to open new programs but it is a huge nuisance
anyways. It starts if I click on the START button. I can use Windows
Media Player though. Any ideas whats going on?

Hi,

Then I suspect you may have a bigger problem in the form of spy/ad programs
on the system. These can help with removal:

AdawareII www.lavasoft.de
Spybot www.safer-networking.org

From MVP Richard Harper on cleaning up malware infested systems:

This one can help you avoid these programs from being installed in the first
place:
Spyware Blaster: www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Why do I think this?
