Why does all this shit keep appearing on my desktop?!

because you have a virus and/or spyware.

[singsingstatic]

I'm pretty sure I have both.

I had a thing once where most of the words on any webpage were links and they all led to one site. I typed the site name into google and found a help forum with advice on how to get rid of it... might be worth trying that.

I'll give it a try, thanks.

1) If you use IE, go to Internet Options and clear your cookies, your history, and your temporary files.

2) Add/Remove Programs - Get rid of everything that looks suspicious/that you know you didn't put on there.

3) Ctr+Alt+Del - Turn off everything that you don't need running.

4) Ad-Aware - Make sure you have the latest update, do a scan, and get rid of everything it finds.

5) Spyware Search & Destroy - If you have this, run this as well, and get rid of everything it finds.

6) Restart.

I have a website you can go to that will search your computer for viruses if all of the steps above didn't get rid of your problem.

i do all that shit, and somehow i still get random things on my computer as well. it helps to cut back a bit though . . .

It might be helpful to get a pop-up blocker, like Google toolbar, or something similar... there's a pop-up blocker that the rest of my family uses by Panic Ware or something, but I don't like it. *shrugs*

It also helps to cut down from going to sites that have lots of adverts and pop-ups on them. Namely fanfiction.net and fictionpress.com, if you're a fanfiction/story freak like me. >.> I had to stop going to ff.net because it kept putting shit on my computer that I didn't want.

Thankyou! I'd already deleted my temp files and run ad-aware but nothing happened, so I'll try that.
