Starting PC adds new Icons each time?

When my sister's PC is started a new set of Icons appears on the desktop. When I looked at it the desktop showed 9 copies of each Icon. I cleaned the Icons off and re-started the PC...The screen was filled again with Icons. How can I correct this???

check start up make sure there is nothing running that shouldnt b
i would surgest running a spyware scan. if this doesnt fix it can u creat a hijack this log and post it so we can see what you have running

 

We would like for you to use HijackThis™ version 2.0.2 from TrendMicro™
Click here http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/hijackthis.php?page=download to go to the download page. Our preference is for you to download the HijackThis Installer. It will ensure HijackThis is properly installed prior to scanning. Once installed, click Do a system scan and save a log file. When it completes, the log will open in notepad. Copy the contents of that log and paste them into your NEXT POST, then click Submit.

 

I doanloaded this to my home PC and saved acopy for when my sister brings me her PC. I'll run HijackThis on it and send the results. Probably be acouple of days before I get it.Thanks for your help with this.

hey what type of icons r those, r they some registry files or do they look like txt files.

 

They are identical ICONs to the originals except the name has a number. For example, it could be an ICON for, say, MS WORD and the next icon is the same except it says MS WORD(2) and the next one MS WORD(3)...and on it goes.
