Here's the manual method to clear out old icons.

Start> Run then type

regedit

Press ENTER

Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify

In the right pane right click IconStreams and choose delete

Right click PastIconStreams and choose delete

Then open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del

On the processes tab highlight explorer.exe and end the process by clicking the box on the bottom right hand side of the window.

Then choose File > New Task > Run

Type explorer.exe

Choose OK

On the explorer.exe I'm using firefox browser. Do I still put the explorer.exe?

Yes. explorer.exe is nothing to do with browsers. It's "Windows Explorer"

On another note: If there's still no luck the next step will be:

Start > Run type

services.msc

Press Enter.

From the menu bar choose Action > Export List

Save the file to your desktop with the file name services.txt and attach it to your next post.[/QUOTE]
The file is not there.

Try saving it like this.

Ok, but what am I supposed to save. The spyhunter file is no where.

Did you ever attempt System Restore, as suggested earlier?

No, because I was afraid that I would lose some programs.

Also, did you reboot after removing the program?

Yes. Didn't help.
