Solve : Unwanted oversized Icon ??

Answer»

6 yr OLD Dell DIMENSION w/1.5G ram and freshly defragged and devirused and running GOOD until.   Wanted an icon for  MySpace on desktop, easy button right!
  Did a right clk "probably on the wrong spot" of the page and some type of download started (did not want that) clked on the red X top right and closed my space.    Now have an Icon ??  about 3 inches square on my desktop right side that will not go away. Restart still there. Virus scan nothing.  Remove programs nothing listed.  Clk on it anywhere nothing.  It says " Fish Isle" with a picture of an island and words "I've got you on the SUNNY" there is one more word but is offscreen.  Google says Fish Isle is a game.  Ran "Wise Registry Cleaner" still there.  It sits on top of my desktop background similar to the way an icon does.  Cannot drag it or it would be in the TRASH!  New here and fairly green so thanks yall.   R CRight-click most anywhere on desktop (not icons or "Fish Isle").  Select Properties, select Desktop Tab.  It probably says : "Fish Isle" desktop.  Select something else.Thanks for the reply.  It is not listed there.  It is now set on "Azul" and we have that in place.  This Fish Isle thing sits on top of it like an oversized icon.screenshot?Have you tried doing a system restore yet?

You mean the recycle bin? Put it in there and then empty the recycle bin. Or select the icon by single clicking it and press shift+delete.

Cannot do a system restore.  Cleaned viruses out and have not done a restore point since clean.  There was only about a 15 minute window from totally clean and running good till I picked up this oversized nuisance.  Will try for a screenshot this a.m.turned computor off 5 minutes and then back on and now it is not there ? ? ?
 Oh well, not gonna mess with it as long as it does not come back
