All my windows open in 'Icon'
view no matter what I do with 'My Folder Options'; I get double identical desktop icons for everything; and when I add one or more pictures to 'My Pictures' folder(from my camera or the web) my computer automatically makes up to twelve copies in the same folder. I read that this behavior is characteristic of a trojan, but I've run everything from AVG 6 and Spybot to System Optimizer and Outpost on my system with no luck. Has ANYBODY out there experienced similar or related problems? Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks ya'll.
