I just started my computer and found these icons on my desktop...they were there when i first downloaded whatever i downloaded, but i deleted them, and now they're back...

hmm its like the msg plus spyware thing lol..

What did u recently download other then your browser?
Try to uninstall it and give your computer a restart.

all u can do is try uninstalling some programs.. but why would ya use IE?.. try out the New Netscape8 beta it has 2 Engines in it.. Gecko an IE Engine , it may suite those needs

It wasn't an update to my browser, version is still the same...so it was obviousely some spyware crap

And i havn't downloaded other things than that thing i accepted the other day

might be a good idea to uninstall each bit of software that u installed an mayb e reinstall it at a later date?

have u looked in the registry?

look at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run

list all the keys here

Virus scan, Ad aware scan, spybot scan

Try some of that

*TD doesn't know how O_o

Dont play with the registry if you dont know what your doing.

you can download this: Startup Manager

it adds a startup manager to windows control panel so you can easily change what runs on startup. its also useful because it stores deleted keys in case you delete anything you want back
