• loss of icon - missing Skype icon on the desktop

  original title: lost icon

  I have windows 7 64 bit system.  Today, I noticed that my Skype icon disappeared from my office (it was not in the toolbar never).  If I go to all programs Skype appears and I can click on it to open it and it works fine.  Then I did a right click on the Skype program and send (create a shortccut).  a shortcut was placed on my desk but it a generic bit - square box icon not the original Skype icon which is a large S in a blue box.  Someone at - it no indication as to why it has gone--none of my other icons on the desktop are gone.  And I checked the trash to see if it had been deleted inadvertently.  In addition, any suggestions on how to get the icon with logo skpe back on the desktop?  Thank you.

  Because it is only today, do a system restore. Pick, say, your restore point 2 days ago.

  See if there is a Mozilla Firefox directory in C:\Program Files (x 86). If so and there are files in this directory, you should be able to reinstall Firefox without losing your preferences.

  Also, you should be able to run it by typing "Firefox" at a DOS command prompt. If it is running, then just create icons yourself.

• Unexpected icon on the desktop called Null0 and have no internet connectivity

  my fathers partners last week computer has been infected by adware, which was easy enough to remove safely. But last night he told me his return (he thinks ebay.co.uk is at fault?). In any case, when I had a quick glance, there is an icon on the desktop, titled null0. # .rar, which he had never seen before. Brilliant orange white white outline of the letter X. The computer does not connect to the internet, unable to open the system restore and the pop ups are quite common. Anyone can shed light on what I can do? Also, there is little to no information around on the net to give me an overview of what this thing is and what is going on this machine.
