After I close Internet Explorer my desktop Icon's become frozen. The tool bar and start menu work fine. I'm running Windows Vista with IE8.

I'm running Microsoft Security Essentials, have used SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as my malware removal tools. I've used system restore and still having the same problem. I don't have a recovery disk, just the disk that Dell issues with it's new computers. Yes I need help.

Go to desktop, right click and refresh. If that does not work, try going to taksk bar, right clicking and from the task manager, end the explorer.exe process.

Try running IE without the add-ons. Tools, Internet Options, advanced, reset.

Try another browser. FireFox and Chrome may be good candidates.

Get rid of the superantispyware. Just use MSE and Malwarebytes. That was probl the cause of the problem.
