    Can you find the source file?

    Do a search for the link name and or search C: Documents and Settings\User Name\Desktop

    If you can locate the file but just cannot delete it this tool might help:

    Does it say anything? Any title under the icon?

    Did this just appear? Did you put this link on your desktop?

    You might try a System Restore to a point prior to its' appearance.

    start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

    Another possibility is to post a HijackThis log for review by our Pros in that section:
