    Hey, complete idiot here. I downloaded this thing called hot_tarts_ca from a certain "site" and now I can't get rid of the icon on my desktop. Program has been deleted. Ran multiple spyware scans with MS, Spybot, Lavasoft and Norton virus scan and all was well, but can't get this icon off my desktop. Keep getting Cannot read from the source file or disk when I right-click on teh icon to delete. Anyone know what else I can do? (aside from not using my computer when I have a had a few to many beers!) :eek:

    Hey thanks for the reply. However I discovered this morning that the icon is no longer on my desktop. Seems to have removed itself. Thanks!! :D
