This behavior is caused by a damaged .cpl file. These files populate Control Panel with tools.

To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:


The default location for the .cpl files in Windows NT is in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.

1. Create a new folder on your desktop called "temp" (without quotation marks). To do this, right click and empty area on your desktop, point to New, click Folder, and then type temp.
2. Move all of the .cpl files out of the System32 folder and into the Temp folder that you created.
3. Verify that Control Panel opens. Note that Control Panel does not contain icons after you move all of the .cpl files out of the System32 folder.
4. Move the .cpl files back into the System32 folder, one at a time, and then open Control Panel after you move each file to verify that Control Panel opens.
5. If you move a .cpl file back into the System32 folder, and Control Panel does not open, delete the file, or replace the file with a known, good .cpl file.

Your Log File Looks Good.

This is most probably caused by the malware "F-Nimda"

The SHELLFIX.REG (download below) file is used to fix Explorer startup problems
resulted from unconditional termination of F-Nimda tool during
its operation.

If F-Nimda tool is terminated by a user or operating system while
it is scanning a hard disk, there will be no icons and no taskbar
on Windows desktop. To fix the problem you will have to run the

This is a common problem which is caused due to cloudmark.

Start >> run >> regedit >> HKCU >> software >> microsoft >> office>outlook >> addins (delete them by right click).

HKLM>software>microsoft>office>outlook>add-ins.

It is recommended that you back up your registry first.

Good Luck!

If the .rar files come in continuous parts for example, file01, file 02, file03, file04, and so on... You can just right click the first file and select "extract here" without having to enter the passwords on by one.

But in your case, it seems that the parts are not continuous. I guess there is no other way than to type/paste in the password on by one.

I recommend Avast, because as far as I know, it disinfects virues instead of deleting them. In my opinion, Kaspersky is even better. =)
