I have a question about Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages:

Lately I've been getting websites that upload an icon onto my desktop. No matter how many times I delete them, they keep coming back. Does anyone know how to prevent this? Thank you! Ben

Adaware and Spybot generally prevent these kinds of things. You should have a firewall 
that will also stop much of this. Once you get rid of them you might want to evaluate 
the sites you are visiting.

Spybot
