Can't you stop things like that happening with Limited user accounts?

I'm sure I could, but it's not likely to happen again. No. 1 son is old enough to baby sit the other two these days, and I've showed the kids how to cover their surfing tracks (as they're going to look at pron whatever I do or say), and told them what to watch out for with regard to trojans, diallers and spyware. But you didn't, and I did

RE: robust presence on the desktop

I've seen one like that - very graphic name and couldn't be deleted or even renamed despite using many tools / techniques (inc booting to DOS from a floppy and dtrying to delete it manually)

in the end we used the mouse to 'throw' it off the bottom of the screen and so not have it visible - it's gone now though, new hard-drive and fresh OS install.
