I have an icon that misteriously appeared on my desktop. What is it, and how do I get rid of it, or should I?
The Icon name is : "winstall.exe"

Thanks

Do a Google search of [ winstall.exe ].
It appears to be a trojan horse.
See the anti-virus vendor sites for full description of its actions and how to remove it.
