Every time I save a file to my desktop or my documents, the file saves as a shortcut. How do I prevent this?

Is this at work?

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

Just to confirm you are telling us for example you go into Word and save a file it has .lnk extension?

Sounds like virus or malware infected. Do you know what to do?
