Taskbar/desktop icons appear & disappear

I believe I may have a virus on my computer that is interfering with normal
functions. My taskbar and desktop icons appear and disappear. A system
restore did not work and I removed any suspicious items Webroot Spysweep, but
I still can only run things by bringing up the Task Manager. Does anyone know
what else I can do to try to fix the problem? Or even know what the problem
is? Occasionally when I run the Desktop from the Task Manager, it gives me an
error about not being able to find a certain file...I can't get it to come up
now, but it was something about idlist. Thanks for any help.
