It all started when I let my sister use my computer for a minute (just to check her mail and such). She swears that she never downloaded anything, but when I got back, there was some prog from the Gator corp. (wich name I only see in Internet pop-ups) on my comp. From that moment, every time I log in, all my desktop icons (except for the 'default' ones: My computer, Network, Recycle bin etc...) have a solitaire icon placed on top of them! Also, after a time (an hour, maybe) the system gets laggy, it closes every IE window and download, and removes all the icons from the desktop. The Start menu works fine, but the whole system is slower. That can be fixed by a reboot, but the next time I log on, it just starts all over again.
I tried to uninstall the Gator program, but it said it can only be removed in the Add/Remove programs list, where it does not appear. So, I deleted the dirs and removed its stuff from the registry, but the problem still occures. Help is very appreciated.
