It seems my computer has been affected by...something, it might be Conficker, might not be, can't be sure because there's no way for me to check now. I got home today to find my computer in an...odd...state. My background was showing but none of the icons or the task bar or anything, really. I rebooted the computer, and it started up normally and it seemed everything would be alright. I logged onto my username, and waited a moment for my background applications to start as they normaly do. They didn't. I tried logging onto AIM, but the moment I clicked on the icon, I got the little hourglass cursor, and it stayed that way. I could move the mouse around, but clicking things would do nothing. Not even the keyboard would do anything. I rebooted the computer again. Same result. Reboot again. Same loving result. Whenever I click anything (or right click), the computer locks up.
Because of this, whatever the problem is with the computer I have no way of fixing it or even finding out what it is, so I may have to just reformat the computer and lose everything.
tl;dr: Computer is forgeted, have to reinstall windows and lose everything.
And in case you're wondering, I'm typing this on a laptop.
