Net Clr icon on my desktop

Rita

I am using Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6 (I think) I can't figure out
where I can find that information. I have Norton Antivirus and Zone Alarm.

A few days ago my computer started getting sluggish and programs started
freezing. I would try to close them with task manager but task manager would
replicate itself until I had about 50 versions of itself running. Finally I
could get it closed and shut down my computer - then restart it.

Now I find an icon on my desktop that says: 6.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729) I
can't open it. I've tried putting it in the trash bin but it keep appearing.
What is this? How do I get rid of it? What's wrong with my computer?

I also don't like the way my computer seems to keep working when I'm not
doing anything on it. Microsoft seems to keep downloading and updating stuff
on me that I don't want.

Thanks, Brunos. I reposted the question and people are trying to help - but
still no resolution. I'm terribly worried.
