Is this a real problem or normal activity when installing software that makes shortcuts on desktop?

cqaigy,
have you removed the items that the scan found if not do not worry.
now do you have an AntiVirus program on your PC if not then one I recommend
is AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition
make sure that the program is upto date then do a full scan of your PC and remove any thing that is found
then please can you clear out your cache folder ie: temporary internet folder There are some free programs that you can use that will do that for you if needed like ;)
CCleaner
(Note in CCleaner: go to >options > advanced > Uncheck "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours").
Then can you download HijackThis  choose "Save" and navigate to the folder where it´s saved and doubleclick upon it.
This is a complete installer that installs Hijackthis onto your computer to C:\Program Files\HijackThis and makes an entry in the start menu & allows you to have a shortcut on desktop
then Doubleclick the HJT icon on your desktop, hit "Do a system scan and save logfile". Save the logfile and a txt-file will be produced.. Copy that one and paste it here.

Hi GR@PH;<'S,

Thanks for looking at my topic here!
I posted to the HijackThis Logs topic because my browser was acting a little sluggish.

I'm running clamav for virus scanner and ATF-Cleaner to clean i.e. cache.  I mostly use FF and set it to delete cache on exit.  I've been looking at Opera too.  I think I'll be looking at CCleaner too, it looks pretty interesting.

I've learned quite abit from this forum so far, Thanks loads!!
