Desktop Trash

Comment:

I have these icons on my desktop that are not regular shortcuts, and there is no right click menu for them. They are links to sites that sell ink cartridges, online poker and stuff, can't get rid of them. Any ideas?

Spyware info.from Microsoft Maybe check for, and remove SpyWare. Here you will find links for detection and removal software. Here is another that is at most computer stores, including Office Depot, Office Max: Spyware X-terminator Also, be sure to update any software online after installation, and every 1-2 weeks.
