    I keep getting a desktop icon named 'access members area' with the icon of o womans face. And a pop-up saying 'bla bla bla.... click ok to dial'

    i cannot find where the prog is installed on the computer and all i can do is delete the icon, until it comes back minutes later.

    Anyone help please??

    thank you

    From what you describe you will have a Malware infection, most likely a dialer, which if you click will generally aim to a porn site and infect you with more popups etc
