Unknown Desktop Icon-MPWD File (.mpwd)-Has Suddenly Shown Up
I can't remove the icon and haven't a clue as to what it's supposed to represent.
It appears every single time I use Internet Explorer 11 so it appears to be tracking me.
I Googled MPWD and found that it's associated with Apple.
I don't own, nor have ever owned, any Apple device, or downloaded anything to do with Apple.
I erase the icon when it appears, but every time I use I.E. it pops right back up.
Also, if I don't erase it, it's replicated every time I use I.E. making multiple desktop icons.
I've checked its attributes but can't find it on any of my SSD's or HDD's.
It's more than aggravating now, I think it may be a serious security risk.
Any ideas exactly what it may be and how to get rid of it?
