Take a look at this...
Spoiler (Click to Expand)
Has anyone else gotten this before? Those 7 icons at the very right. I can't delete them! I can't right click them and click delete! Not even by dragging them because I can't drag them! I've done all I know I can do. I called Dell but they didn't help much. I've tried using the "McAffe Shredder" but when you try to select the file it won't show thru a "select file" window type thing. I've tried deleting them thru safe mode but they won't show in that mode. I've tried getting rid of it thru the task manager but no luck. I've tried scanning for viruses but McAffe couldn't find anything. I've tired searching through SpyBot and got rid of all the ad files and stuff... Except for the ones that run those gay icons. I am pissed in a murderous insane way. Does anyone got an idea of what I can do? I'd put this in BlameTheHelp, but that has more to with worm files and the site and... yeah...

Edit: lol, i didnt actually look at what the icons were. Adware is a bitch, but you should have unchecked the box on msn plus :p

Those icons are from Spyware
Run ad-aware.

Did you by any chance install msn plus and installed the third party software from lop.com with it?
IF so uninstall msn plus.
http://members.rogers.com/rjmac/toolbar_uninstall.exe
http://members.rogers.com/rjmac/new_uninstall.exe
Download those. Not sure if they'll work. If they do, reinstall msn plus but don't install the 3rd party software.

Then run spybot. There are still things that Ad-Aware doesn't find but spybot does.
There's also another option. I've found that some files that otherwise seem undeletable can be deleted if you run scandisk (or a similar program) at the same time...

Yes, right-click hard drive in My Computer then Tools tab.
I wouldn't recommend it as it is very poo. Try something like AVG or Panda

I had the same problem, and I spent hours searching on google until i found how to get rid of it, because none of my virus/spyware scanners were doing anything.
