I downloaded a program and I thought I removed it.
every time a switch on my pc I find a shortcut on my desk top, an icone between programs on the task bar and a link as favorite in my browser.
the short cut shows the target but not the file that generates it.
the program is not on my pc but the shorcut and link are
I can't find a solution
 
I have already try to delete it like that thanks, doesen't work, ni matter what I do when I switch on the pc they are back there
 
That's really odd, is there anything related to it in the msconfig startup
tab or in the startup folder?
 
yes, it appears on the programs menu as well and as a link in the favourites of my browser
they all have as a target a folder called system 32 that should run a DDL as an Application
but they can't open anything because I removed the program
So I think there is something that generates the shortcut, the link and the icone on the programs menu, every time I switch on the pc.
 
What are the targets for the shortcuts? May be try to cut + paste the target
files to the folder 1 or 2 folders up and see if it works. remember where
they came from and where you moved them to incase you need to put them back.
 
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\MSA64CHK.dll,DllMostrar Matrix_HTML:CoolMP3

this is the target but I can't find the part of the program or file that is generating this command or anything that is generating my shortcut to re-appear all the time.
I have already try to put the short cut in to a folder and then to delete the folder but didn't work

Did you use 'Add or Remove Programme's in the Control Panel, if not try and
remove the offending programme that way.
