Answer 1

It could be a virus stopping explorer.exe from running which is what runs all of your icons and your taskbar. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and then on the first tab, click on "New Task" then type in "explorer.exe" without the quotes. This should fix your problem unless the virus closes it again.

*ADDED ON*

It really depends on what the trojan is really doing. Once you start up explorer.exe you can download a free program that I use to try and remove the trojan. The program is called Spybot Search and Destroy. You can download it here:

Answer 2

Ubuntu is a free operating system with no viruses. I have switched from XP and am not looking back. Switching to Linux may be a little much, try running it from a disk while visiting "guy sites".
