    Fucking Spyware Icons

    Just noticed my desktop riddled with shit icons like 'Travel', 'Bingo', 'Poker', etc. However, when I right click over them, it doesn't bring up a menu, therefore I can't delete them. This menu appears with all my other icons, Internet Explorer, etc., just not these pieces of shit. Is there any other way I can delete them? Tried desktop cleanup and that didn't work either.

    Cheers for any help :)

    Firstly, stop using IE, or it'll happen again.

    Use webroot or GIANT to get rid of them, and to inoculate against them - adaware and spybot are crap in this regard.

    Try CWShredder.

    Use Housecall in case they are trojan-like.

    Use HijackThis to remove any last remnants (you'll have to know what you're doing).

    And lastly, stop using IE, or it will happen again.
