Yeah, I know I screwed up by clicking inside the ad instead of just clicking the "X". I just had a brain cramp and wasn't thinking.

The "spybuster" icons come back on my desktop after each restart. Here is what is showing up:

Evidence Eraser
Popup Blocker
Spyware Avenger
Virus Hunter Security

I don't have my own firewall installed, but I just got DSL service this week - and it is supposed to come with MSN Premium, which provides a firewall, popup blocker and virus scanner.

Maybe these new icons are actually legit and part of the MSN package - but they didn't show up when I activated my DSL connection. They showed up after I got hit with the spyware last night.
