Sam Nichols Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Yo yo! I've got some problems with a shortcut that has appeared on my desktop called 'Install WinFixer 2005'. I have tried deleting it but it comes back on reboot and starts automatically installing it.. only Ctrl+Alt+Del stops it installing. The shortcut links to... "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\UWFX5LP_0001_0803NetInstaller.exe" However when i go to that directory there is nowt there!! Any ideas? I have tried spyware killers, virus checkers... all sorts! Cheers guys :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
