• 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.

  1 Control Panel / System / Advanced / Performance tab / button settings and tick: shadows fall to use the desktop icon labels

  2. display properties-> Desktop-> Desktop Customize-> Web-> "Lock desktop items" and "my current Home Page" is not checked.

  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.
