    Computer Taken over by GOD :P


    Every Couple (reboots maybe around 10 approx)the godmode icon appears on my desktop, Don't ask me how or why it just does, I delete it and keeps coming back. I would like to just get rid of it for good! I also get an error msg about are you sure you wanna delete this file "desktop.ini" I delete it and it will just sudeendly decide to come back whenever it wants too! Pictures are attached to make it more clear.

    Thanks,
    Magoo

    First have you run a system wide virus scan?

    Second reboot in safemode (F8) and navigate to the folder c:\users\your username\desktop. the godmode shortcut should be there, delete it.

    Third do a search for "godmode" on the entire C:\ drive and where ever you find it delete them as well.

    If you have any problems deleting them from within windows boot from the win 7 dvd go to the cmd window and navigate to where they are from there then delete them.

    This works I have done it on many recalcitrant godmode shortcuts.

    EDIT: the desktop.ini file also has a fix. search sevenforums for it. (I just dont remember what it is atm.

    1) Check in MSCONFIG=> Startup tab for something that may be triggering that.

    2) Try deleting the folder in Safe mode, the run a registry cleanup with CCleaner.

    Well it keep coming back, Virus and malware scan is Clean, Went into safe mode and deleted it, 20 mins it later its back, I notice it has a read only permission, which I can remove no problem. Could it be something in the registry making it pop up? Checked msn config and startup nothing there at all, hmmm I'm stumped!

    Boot into safe mode, take ownership of the folder, then delete.

    This may sound drastic, but I would consider wiping the drive and reinstalling. The GodMode folder doesn't just appear...it has to be put there. If your computer has been compromised that much...I'd have no faith using it any further.
