Adware

[jroy]

I have attached an image of some adware that appeared on my desktop, for some reason its not letting me delete it, and also if i go to "My Computer" and click the folder with the arrow pointing up its not there, im going to run norton in a few minutes, any one know what this garbage is?

Never seen that particular one .... Sounds as if it is in the registry though - Hopefully Norton will nab it for ya

well its happened before, only before i was able to delete it, and when it happened before i ran norton and it got a few files and deleted them, i dont know why it keeps coming back

Happens to me all the time, and I keep deleting it and it comes back the next day.

I just ignore it now. I'll start collecting adware :lol:

My collection of over 100 is worth a few K now :lol:

Try deleting it while running in safe mode. I use adaware and spybot s&d. I also use the "tea timer" program from spybot which will ask you for permission to change any registery entries. Works great.

Yeah reboot into safe mode (on most windows machines press F8 when it says F2 = Setup) and then run ad aware, S&D, and/or norton.
