mamister Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I wonder if it can be done to remove those list or icons or shotcuts.... see attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiCo Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hmm seems like you got rid of an Antivirus XP infection. What program did you use? I would recomend Malwarebytes RogueRemover to clear of all remnants. Those 2 I see in the picture, you can just right click on them and click "Remove from list" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Welcome mamister. I too recommend MBAM so download then run its internal update function then run a Quick scan. You may have to reboot to have locked files removed. See Malwarebytes forum for help in removing stubborn infections: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showforum=41 Install SpywareBlaster and keep it updated at least envry two weeks: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbdownload.html "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein IE7Pro user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamister Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi all, thanks for the reply. I have removed the infection but the short cuts still there, I do understand by right click it is possible to delete it, but i am just curious about any method just like the clean shortcuts and startmenu functions in CCleaner? startmenu cleanup the rest but not this 2 shortcuts.

Did you use MBAM to remove it and also to scan for anything else? If you scanned, then yes delete it like any other shortcut. davey P.S. Don't forget to install SpywareBlaster like YoKenny recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamister Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yes it is clean. Isn't that 2 icons treat as miss link shortcuts? Can't CCleaner detect and remove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Looks like no short cut for this shortcuts problem.... Sorry, I was thinking more about was it safe to click on those Icons rather than where they were located. With the other member help you will get it sorted now. And don't forget SpywareBlaster. Also come here for advice before you click on any other "free software". These members will tell you what is good and what is safe and where to get it. Good luck, davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easy to just right click and delete but I just curious if any other way to remove it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
