Recently, a large number of users have appeared that "the desktop icon cannot be deleted", and two IE icons appear on the desktop, and clicking on these icons will open the bad website. It is reported that netizen Xiao Liu reflects that he downloaded a compressed package at a BT download station. After double-clicking and unzipping, I found several new icons on my computer's desktop, and the titles are very attractive, such as "HD movies", "free movies", "small games", "small games" & rdquo; ”etc. Double-clicking on these icons will open some URL navigators, bad sites, and even porn sites, and will pop up a lot of ads. And these icons can't be deleted at all. Pressing the “Delete” button does not respond; right click on the icon, only the “Open Home” & “quo” and “Create Shortcut” options.
The malicious icons are always displayed on the desktop of the computer, and how to delete these icons effectively? Here are some ways for the majority of computer users:
1, find out the true face of malicious icons
If you are using an XP system, it is relatively simple to delete. Here I turned off the anti-virus software, accessed a malicious URL, and there was an IE icon that could not be deleted. First, we right click on the blank space of the desktop, select “ arrange icon & rdquo;, then select the bottom of the "run the desktop cleanup" wizard in the pop-up options. In the cleanup wizard, we select the IE icon and click Next. After the completion, a new folder named “Unused Shortcuts” will be created on the desktop.
2, delete the corresponding location of the registry
Open this folder, we can see that this IE icon has become a similar folder, this is the true face of this IE icon can not be deleted. We remember this string of numbers in the brackets, then click on the "Start" menu, select Run, enter: regedit into the registry in the Run window, find the following location in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /SOFTWARE /Microsoft /Windows /CurrentVersion/Explorer/Desktop/NameSpace, you can see this sub-item, right click to delete.
3, delete the icon in Windows7
window 7 has no option to clean the desktop, how do we operate it? Enter “regedit” in the boot menu, then right-click to open the registry with administrator privileges , enter the same registry location as the previous step, because we can not determine the key value of the rogue icon, we only first export the main item NameSpace. Right click on the NameSpace item and select Export. Select a save location. Then try to delete the similar components one by one. If there is an error, just import the NameSpace group key we just saved.
4, use 360 and other software to kill, repair
If the above methods can not be resolved, we can try to use 360 stubborn Trojan killing tools to solve. Open the software and click the kill option to search for abnormal items on the computer. 360 will automatically process it. Then switch to the “fix” item, select the settings for IE, click “repair now”, restart the computer to solve the problem.
The rogue software is mainly spread by means of bundling other software and webpages. Once the rogue software is run, it will generate multiple icons on the desktop. Users can't delete icons by setting permissions for the shortcuts they create or changing the registry. It is understood that the general security software can clear the "desktop icon" rogue software, but will ignore the "icons" still left on the desktop, users click on these icons, it will lead to repeated infection. Use the "Clean up plug-ins" feature to completely remove the "Desktop icon" rogue software and perfectly fix broken shortcuts. As long as you install the software will always be plagued by malicious icons, so if you want to safely delete these malicious icons on the desktop, then try the above method, it is very easy to use.
