Chameleon icons

ZXNet echo conference «zxnet.pc»

From Wladimir Bulchukey To All 3 January 2006

Hello(s), All...! The icons in the Quick Launch panel began to change on their own. For example, instead of the "Collapse all windows" icon, file search binoculars may appear, and instead of Opera - text document icon. In this case, clicking on the icons is normal launch the corresponding applications. There are no viruses. Some action causes _this_. I still can't understand. The same thing happened at work. I'm not sure I can notice that garbage appears more often after launching WinAmp, etc. audio programs, less often - after removing a frozen program using the task manager. Icons are replaced only to those that are on the desktop. And the icon is never replaced Far. It all started after I started actively working with sound both at home and on work. At the same time, the composition of the software is different here and there. Computers have been checked a thousand times Kaspersky and Danilov - everything is clean. With the best - Wlodek # wlblack(@)newmail.ru # http://wlodeks.narod.ru [ZX] [500:95/462@ZXNet] [2:5016 Forever] [Golyanovo] [Old Russians]

This is unknown to me at the moment; at the time I never understood where this came from. dirty tricks creep in. But I got rid of it by removing everything from the screw and rebuilding everything again rearranging. I wish I could have dug around, but I had so much to do in your shit Completely reinstall on your computer. After this operation this glitch me didn't bother me anymore. WB> The same thing started at work. So, this already leads to some suspicions. Maybe it's a program after all Any kind of malicious? Did you carry any software from home to work?
