    How to disable the auto shortcut in desktop?


    hello,
    recently I noticed that every time I plug in my usb or put in a dvd, there's always a icon showing up in my desktop, I think its a shortcut. I tried deleting it but still every time I plug it or put a dvd, it stills shows up.
    Please how can I disable it?

    Can you plug in and take a screen shot of the short cut?

    When strange things happen that I have not seen before, I start with the same advice. It is much better to be sure of this

    Run your antivirus scan
    Download and run a malwarebytes scan


    If clean we will move from there.

    I have just run the full system scan and it has 5 cookies found and remove but I think thats not it, its still there. By the way I'd use Norton 2010.

    N,o in fact you should keep malwarebytes (free editions) and run a scan once a week. I and many others do the same.

    Be SURE you update Malwarebytes before you run it each time. They update multiple times per day.
