Hello Everyone,

How are you all doing?
I have a wierd problem on my computer and I hope someone can help me.
My OS is Windows 95.
One day these icons appear on my desktop and I tried throwing it in the recycle bin, but it keeps coming back.
It seems that when I run certain programs these icons reappear again.
These icons that keeps coming back are:
1. Name: error.log Type: LOG File Ms-Dos name: Error.log
2. Name: default.lst Type: Lst File Ms-Dos name:
Default.Lst
3. Name: ad Type: Dat File Ms-Dos name:
Ad.Dat
4. Name: Ub Type: Date File Ms-Dos name:
Ub.Dat

I don't know what I installed or did, but these icons won't leave.

Can anyone please help? I appreciated it!

Thank you

It would appear that those are remnants of an Adware program that is no longer functioning properly and resulting in errors.

I think you would be best off to complete all of the Spybot removals concerning your previous post to rid your PC of ad and spyware.

Regards,
Bryan

Hello Bryan,
I tried spybot again but it doesn't remove those icons on my desktop.
I threw in the recycle bin, but I noticed everytime I opened up internet explorer it reappears again...
I also notice my internet explorer would encounter errors when I visit some websites.
I would get this message.
INTERNET EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in
module MSHTML.DLL at 0137:70d6e306.

I can't upgrade my internet explorer because I'm running win95.
I have ie5setup and I was wondering maybe I can uninstall internet explorer and reinstall it again...
do you know how to uninstall?

Thanks for your help!
