Unwanted Desktop items

[Flinty]

Hi All,

There are unwanted desktop icons on our machine that keep
on coming back even though we delete them from the
desktop and recycle bin. I have checked through startup
and the registry and can't see anything. The icons are of
a sexual nature and I suspect that there the registry has
become corrupt or holds the key to the icons reappearing
constantly.

Please can someone help.

Kind Regards

Peter Flint.

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Get Spybot or AdAware...or any other good spyware detector. The results of
what it finds on your system will likely surprise you. And without trying
to sound presumptuous, this usually happens when someone visits crap porn
sites. Umm, maybe the comp. is being used for this, no?
