Default CAN'T REMOVE FILE ON DESKTOP - BECAUSE COPY IS MADE

I am unable to remove a program called "SETUPSP5.EXE"
from my desktop. When I try to delete it from the
desktop a copy is automatically made. Deleting the copy
creates another copy.

By trying to delete this program
I now have many copies of it !

( SETUPSP5 came with "Visual C ver 6.0 )

For hard to remove files, get Killbox. This next link is to the zip file at bleepingcomputer.com
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/file...re/KillBox.zip
Killbox will help to delete the file "on a next reboot" basis.

Be sure to also run spyware / malware checks.
Get SYSCLEAN from Trendmicro and run it.
