re iconoid
This is a neat way of "hiding" desktop icons:
http://www.8start.com/
Author's comments:
"8start Launcher is a free portable application launcher, I created 8start Launcher because I believe there should be a convenient way to access application than using windows start menu, quick launch and desktop. Windows desktop look messy if too many shortcuts in the desktop, windows start menu become hard to access if too many applications installed in the computer, windows quick launch not suitable to handle too many shortcuts.
Now you can make your desktop wallpaper never be blocked by the icons, you never have to search program shortcuts in start menu. You can divide different programs into categories and groups, and access it by a single click".
For the person looking for program to hide desktop icons, google desksweeper, look for no nonsense software site. I have used this program for years. Resides in tray with simple one click to show or hide.
thank you PAUL and LANCE for the suggestions re hiding desktop icons. apprecite it.

Be patient because this a large problem and there are may people that post HijackThis logs here. Sounds like you have a spyware or malware problem.
Go to the address below and Click on the button for Download to the right of HijackThis Self Installer:

1. Save the file to your desktop.
2. Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
3. By default it will install to C:Program FilesHijackThis.
4. Continue to click Next in the setup dialog boxes until you get to the Select Additional Tasks dialog.
5. Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
6. Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
7. At the final dialog box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
8. Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
9. Click Save to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
10. At the top of the Notepad HJT log screen, hit Edit then Select All then click Edit and then click Copy. Doing that copies the text to the clipboard.
11. Go To http://forums.techguy.org/54-security/ and paste your log with a brief explanation of the problem you are having.
DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
A security expert will take a look at your log - please be patient.
Second try the following.
I would suggest to try these instructions to "repair" internet explorer
