a program was accidently downloaded onto my computer. Now whenever i startup my computer, a box pops up and 2 shortcut icons. I delete these icons and even the directory that the point to and the program still comes up when ever i boot up my computer. Please help. I am using Windows ME.

Hello,

What program or website are the icons for ? Have you installed any programs recently that may have coincided with this occuring ?

Pls do this - click Start / Run type in MSCONFIG in the box and hit Enter.

Then click on the startup tab and list all of the programs you have there.

Also check to see what programs are under Start/Programs/Startup

Thankyou

the name of the icons are SpyCams, the directory is liveshows, and the target of the icons is liveshows.exe. I have tried deleting the files and targets, and then emptying the recycle bin. before i do this i have tried the msconfig suggestion and the file is not listed in the window. then i restarted my computer and it came up agian. I thought i was downloading another program, but this program was put on my computer. Any more suggestions?
