Reappearing Icon

[oldpopd]

I have no idea where or how but this icon shows up on my desktop, my documents, ontop of pictures, in c,d, and e drives. It lists as cmsstoage LST file. I delete and erase it but it comes back. I have scaned for everything I could think of. How do I get rid of it? And what is it? If you can help thankyou.

Its says cmsstoage a windows icon I can change the look by opening it with word note or whatever. If I could find it I could get rid of it. But like I said it comes back after I delete it. I would like to know where it came from. Why would a LST file atached to a icon show up like that.

I cant find the file to delete it. The reappearing is spread like I said in my first post. Could it be part of a program I uninstalled or someones hack.

Yes to all, I have scaned with eveything I could think of. I am running XP home. Zone alarm, Norton works, Ad ware 6 Pro , BPS spyware. Why would a LST File named cmsstorage leak from a file or a folder. I can do a file search and delete them, but they come back as I stated. It seems I can't locate the orginal file to delete or remove it. Also when I delete the file or icon my system is not afected or changed. But why or what causes it to reproduce in different locations?

are you viewing protected OS files when searching for the file? also, if it is some sort of virus/adware it is very possible that the root file is actually called something entirely different which allows it to replace everything else you have deleted (I learned this the hard way with a nasty little virus -- took me forever to find out the actual infected file was named something entirely different from all the files NAV was finding and saying were infected, once I tracked down the actual file and removed it, the problems ceased). might also be helpful if you could post the icon that is reappearing as someone may not understand what you're saying but will recognize the icon.

It should read CmsStorage... It is for some sort of Java language object.

Try reading through these links to see if it is helpful...
