Hi Please help if you can

2 websites have downloaded on to my desktop and I cannot
remove them. Both come up only as shortcuts and also come
up under my favorties folder on explorer. I am using XP
and it shows up on all user sites.

The websites are "Portal Searching" and "Free Cell Phone"

How can I remove them.
I have deleted them serveral times with no luck. I did a
search on each name and then deleated all files at once
that are related to these to luck with no luck.

After I delete them and I start Internet Explorer again
they return.

Please help if you can

Yes, I used to run Ad-aware, too. But I ran SpyBot once
right after an Ad-aware run, and SpyBot found 87 items
that my Ad-aware missed! I thought you should know that.
 
Not only will spybot find items adware misses, it will
imunize your system from certain known spy programs and
prevent you from getting them. Not to mention you can lock
your home page and prevent hijacking very easily with the
program.

Personally I run the both quite often.
