I'm using windows XP and I think I might have been hit with a virus or spybot because my windows desktop disappeared and even if I load taskmanager and start up explorer, it comes up and then turns off again.
can you elaborate? What do you mean by desktop? Like... your icons? Or you can't even cllick on the start menu?
What he said. We need more information. This happened to me once and it was just one file being currupted. Wasn't even a virus, these things happen sometimes. I just replaced the file and everything was cool.
It got into the Windows, just didn't show the icons or the menu. It was all blank. The key point is, can explorer.exe be run. I think that's the name of the service which opens all these things at the beginning of the session.

I'd recommend trying out Ad-Aware, Spybot( which you already seem to have ), CCleaner and an app I found called 'Quickkill' you can find here: An App A Day - Downloads: Day 16 - QuickKill
Quickkill will terminate any process running that you don't have listed in the .jedi file that accompanies the .exe( you can edit the .jedi file in notepad )
With CCleaner, go to I think it's tools and startup and delete anything suspicious and run it to clear out temp files.

Some of the trojans can't get really deleted from the system without a specifically built fix program. Some of these fix only one trojan and some can fix 10-20 different trojans. The process usually consists of many steps, different instructions, registry fixing phases, renaming files, reboots, deleting renamed files etc.
My desktop disappeared!
