Icons/Folders are missing in "All Programs"
So, I wake up today and BitDefender scans and detects some virus'. During this time, I'm getting a few prompts which I close. At one point, I click the windows logo AKA start button, then go to All Programs and I notice that my list is pretty much empty. At first, my C:\Program Files also wasn't showing up. I guess the virus hid those files, because they showed up once I unhid them via the folder options.
Luckily, I think I may have been able to get rid of the virus/trojan/malware/whatever. I'm still going to be running scans, but unfortunately I have to work from my computer at the same time. I can go to into C:\Program Files to find programs I want to use and start them up, but I would much prefer they appear in the "All Programs" listing.
Windows 7 - Home Basic 64-bit
If anyone could help, I would seriously appreciate it. This is giving me headaches, lol.
