hey, I was told I had a trojan virus after running superantispyware (and a bunch of "warnings" popping up that I needed to "can my computer").
this is the log from the scan:

I did have to stop it before it was finished. I immediately had it remove threats and restart, however, but now there are a number of items "missing" as in they do not load (or are hidden from any sort of obvious access). for instance, the desktop icons and shortcuts I normally use are gone- all of them- except that when I use the keyboard command to open my computer and switch to the desktop menu view, I can see all the same things there were before (and still open them, so I know nothing was lost).
my question is... what should I do? do I start with trying to run system restore (which is missing from the accessories) or run superantispyware again?
