I am running 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I picked up an internet pop virus or such. I read online to trash the com.apple.safari.plist (or something similar). I did this and now I have no finder. The computer boots up fine. I get to the login screen fine. Upon logging in, there is nothing except some miscellaneous things that are set to open on login. (No dock, no menu bar, no hard drive) I can access some items through key commands. I can login to a secondary user I have on the computer and there are no issues. I have run the Disk Utility. I have ran OnyX. I can start up off an external drive and see the hard drive. I am at a complete loss--please help.
