Computer Spyware-Can't remove unwanted files from "ad-ons". Can't remove program & icon from desktop.

I have norton360, Macaffee, & Adwarepro, but still full page ads continuously. I have int. exp. 7 & in the ad ons there is a button to delete but it isn't active. I have 3 bad files there but when I disable them they enable themselves again. They are goMDWmLd.dll

roxtnaaa.dll and vtUnllxU.dll I also have 2 programs that just added themselves with icons on desktop. They show up in programs, but not in the list of programs under save and remove.

    Norton is horrible software; besides you can only have 1 anti-virus installed on your system. McAfee isn't much better. Get rid of those programs and get a better anti-virus. Install some anti-spyware applications (it is OK to have more than one of these).

    NOD32 and Kaspersky are the best anti-virus applications and much better than the best sellers Norton and McAfee (recent tests at av-comparatives.org). If you want a free anti-virus, AVG, Avast! or AntiVir all are better than Norton (install only 1).

    No single anti-spyware application is perfect so I recommend using at least 2 different programs. Spybot Search & Destroy is one of the best. I also recommend SUPERAntiSpyware. Other free anti-spyware programs would be Adaware, AVG Anti-spyware (formally Ewido), A-squared, Spyware Terminator and SpywareBlaster.

    I strongly recommend using FireFox, it's a far better and safer alternative to Internet Explorer. If you add-on McAfee SiteAdvisor, it will warn you of potentially harmful sites. I also recommend CCleaner which is a free system optimization and privacy tool.

    you're able to do the drag and drop technique the place you click and carry down the mouse button and drag it to the trash. Or if there are a number of them in a definite factor of your demonstrate screen you opt for to eliminate then click on the laptop and drag your mouse over the icons you opt for delete to concentration on them. then you definately can hit the Delete key on your keyboard. Or in the event that they are scattered on your deskop and mixed with different icons you opt for to maintain,then carry down the CTRL key mutually as picking the icons you opt for to delete and then hit the delete key as quickly as you have chosen each and every of the icons you opt for to eliminate.
