Strange Virus creates strange troble in the registry

:eek:
Hello There,
It started out on june 1. I turned on my win xp sp1 computer and the program links from the Start menu ( START> PROGRAMS>(Empty) ) were gone! I had a bunch of virus on the machine and have tired norton, trend micro, adware personal, adware and some others. Each has found some virus and fixed it... However, i do not know how to fix my registery to show the Programs from the start menu.. HELP!
Thanks from desperately seeking a solution.

Hi acmit, welcome to DaniWeb :D

Try using System Restore first (to a date prior to June 1); if that doesn't work, you can try an in-place upgrade (aka repair installation) -- instructions can be found here:

Let us know the results.
