Since about 2 days ago, 7 icons have appeared on my desktop which won't let me delete them. they are links to other sites with are also in my favourites folder which are Travel,Poker,Card Games,Printer Cartridges,Casino Online,Bingo,Website Hosting. Im not able to delete them from my favourites either. Nothing happens when i right click on them both on the desktop and in the favourites. The only thing i can do is open them up which brings me to one of the sites. How can i get rid of these, PLEASE help!!
