Several things to try.
First System Restore from before the virus and problems.
Second go to task manger and
have you try to end the sidebar.exe process in task manager and enable it again ?
and you can try to end the dwm.exe and enable it again .

First and foremost, make 100% certain that your machine is clean.
Run a full virus scan again. Recommend that you use Malwarebytes to do the job. It is one of the best.
