Here's the deal: I got a DVD from PC Format and suddenly on my desktop icons of Casino, Poker, Printer Cartirgeds and some other stuff shown and I can't seem to delete them. Any advice?

Have you tried in safe mode yet? Somewhere in the boot process you have to hit F8 to enter safe mode. I don't know when exactly but if you keep hitting it works for me. Then you probably can delete them.

It looks like this guy has the same problem.
http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...;f=10;t=022010 You're gonna have to discover the names of the program keeping them up there and take it out first before deleting those icons. Try searching for the underlying program.

Here are the icons:
As you see I have drawn a red circle around them. |

I scanned with both Ad-Aware and Spybot - Search&Destroy but the icons are still there. ATM I am running Avast.

Have you gone into your startup and looked at the names of every program set up in there?
Can you identify each one? Try typing the names of each unkown startup program into google. If one of them is a bad one, you'll find out and then can begin your counter attack. [ 12-31-2004, 01:17 PM: Message edited by: Larry_OHF ]

Or you could do a system restore.
That would also work. |
