I have been working on cleaning up a friends laptop for about a couple of weeks. I ran the HJT logs and posted to another site, but never received a reply. I ran Spyboy, AVG8, Ad-Aware, Advance System Care, ATF-Cleaner, Cyber Defender, Regseeker, vcleaner, Vundofix, Malwarebytes, FixO, and maybe a couple of more programs which have collectively found and removed at least a dozen malware items. The problem I have now is that I think either there are still insidious pests lurking on this system or I inadvertently altered some important xp files or settings. For the last couple of days I haven't been able to detect any malware, but for some reason when I boot up the screen doesn't display any icons or the taskbar. The My Documents folder is the only thing that comes up after windows boots up. Please advise.

Hi and welcome to daniweb,
For the missing desktop icons be certain you don't have them hidden.
Do this:
Right click your desktop -> Select "Arrange Icons By"
Verify that the option to "Show Desktop Icons" is checked

Now for your infections, yes they are still there, I see at least one in the HJT log. I also see by the MBA-M log that you showed two but only removed one. The files found by the ESET scanner were backups made by Spybot of items removed. You can empty the quarantine of Spybot.
You should update MBA-M again, then run another full system scan with it, REMOVE ALL that is found.
Reboot.
Run HJT again and post back with both new logs.
I would suggest also the you Uninstall any of the programs you used for these removal attempts except Spybot and MBA-M.
I don't know what FixO is, Vundofix is not used too often anymore as MBA-M does a good job of removing that infection. MBA-M also cleans out infected registry entries so other registry searching/cleaning programs are not necessary either. Plus you can get rid of the wrong files too and cause problems. AdAware isn't what it used to be, at least in my opinion, I would also uninstall that one too. I am also not real crazy about Cyber Defender either. It was previously listed as a Rogue Program, though it is off that list now, it just isn't "top of the line". I would remove that also.
Judy

Judy,
Thanks for your reply and I am very grateful for any advice you have.

I tried right-clicking the desktop, but nothing happens when I click on the desktop. I still don't have the icons or the taskbar/start menu.

I uninstalled the anti-malware programs as instructed.

Tell you what, there has been a LOT more added to the Auto Starting programs since the last run of HJT.
When you emptied the Spybot Quarantine, did you reboot the computer?
If not can you do so now and then run another HJT and post the log?

Just had a thought here, was one of the programs you ran combofix?

What is FixO? I can find no information for it whatsoever.

No, I didn't download and run combofix.

Ok, then let's give it a try:
Please do the following;

Download ComboFix
Click on the Save button and then when it asks you where to save it, make sure you save it directly to your Windows Desktop.
Once the download is complete you will see the Combofix on the desktop.

* Close all open Windows including this one.
* Close or disable all running Antivirus, Antispyware, and Firewall programs as they may interfere with the proper running of ComboFix.
Doubleclick the combofix icon on the desktop to run the program.



Windows will issue a prompt asking whether you wish to run the program, click Run
You will then see a Disclaimer screen asking you to agree to the disclaimer. Press the number 1 key to accept the disclaimer.

Now just sit back and allow the program to run

Please note, that once you start ComboFix you should not click anywhere on the ComboFix window as it can cause the program to stall. In fact, when ComboFix is running, do not touch your computer at all and just take a break as it may take a while for it to complete.

When ComboFix has finished running, you will see a screen stating that it is preparing the log report.
This can take a while, so please be patient. If you see your Windows desktop disappear, do not worry. This is normal and ComboFix will restore your desktop before it is finished. Eventually you will see a new screen that states the program is almost finished and telling you the programs log file, or report, will be located at C:\ComboFix.txt.

After googling my blank desktop and explorer.exe issue and reading similar problems and fixes on geekstogo and bleepingcomputers I downloaded FixO. http://l3rady.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/fixo.zip

But honestly I don't know what it did other than not fix the problem.
