Fix for Missing start menu links
Please find below the steps which would fix the missing start menu links due to a possible infection.
Attention : Please don’t run HFN or any other virus removal tool before the folder “SMTMP” is backed up safe.
1) Open Explorer select “C: DRIVE” and type “SMTMP” in SEARCH BOX (TOP RIGHT).

2) Open folder “SMTMP” or directly go to this location “%UsersProfile%\appdata\Local\Temp\SMTMP”.
The folder named “1” would have the missing shortcuts from Start Menu & folders “2” & “3” would have missing icons from desktop & taskbar.
3) Navigate to “Programs” folder inside the folder “1” and copy all & paste in location %AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs
