I run Windows xp, servpk2, and IE7. After I down loaded "Adobe Reader
8.0" it placed an icon on my desktop which will not delete when I right

click on it with my mouse. I un installed the program but the icon is
still on my desktop and in the Start>All Programs menu, "Adobe Reader
8.0" is listed but again I can't delete it by right clicking on it.
What does happen is my hourglass pops up and then after a few seconds
my desktop and taskbar reset. It seems that if I right click on
anything in my taskbar or in the programs list, instead of getting a
menu like: open;delete;send to; etc. I get the hourglass and a reset on

my desktop and tastbar. Any help anyone can give me would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks, John

Was there any solution?

I also have an .mp3 file that won't delete, and has altered the choices on my right-click menu so that delete (or scan, or remove after restart) isn't on there.................

Afraid this is a virus but Symantec hasn't caught it!! Help!! Sad Shocked Question Crying or Very sad
