Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
Free virus scan on-line:

...but it is probably not a virus. It is probably spyware, so get Adaware:

Okay, if you have virus/adware/spyware scanners use those, if those dont work, try going to prog files and messing around with some of the files inside it. Add some numbers to the coding in the files, and delete stuff, pretty much just corrupt it so it cant work right, i did that on my comp once, and it didnt get rid of it, but when the comp started up it told me the prog failed to execute because it was corrupt.

if you've tried all the virus scanners and stuff to get rid of it and that doesn't work you can just use system restore it restores your comp to how it was at an earlier point in time

if you go to www.panicware.com you can download a pop-up stopper. just click download and pick the one you want. it also has links to get rid of adware and spyware. if you click back to home and look to your right it says top support links, under that it says Still getting pop-ups?, click that and it has links to get rid of spyware and adware. good luck

Well, I don't know if that's an icon or not, but I went in a chatroom and some guy sent me his pics. So I went to open the icon thing that was labeled pics and it wouldn't open. It would let me delete it either. So I made a new folder on my desktop, and put it in there. Then I put the folder in the recycle bin. Then you go in the recycle bin and delete it there too. Sorry if what you're talking about wasn't icon. Hope I helped though.

If you have virus scan, run it and then find out where it's located and then delete it. If it's a program of some sort, just go to your control panel and then to add/remove programs and delete that way too. Also, install a pop up blocker; I use Yahoo! Companion Toolbar and it has a pop up blocker. Hope I helped :)
