Why isn't this junk program showing up in my install/uninstall programs list?
Here is a screen shot of my desk top. There is an icon at the end of the second row called “Cut the Rope” that suddenly showed up. Looks like a game of some sort. I don’t find it in my programs list. How do I get rid of it? (And anyone know what that is?)
While we’re at it, do I need Norton and all of those other programs since I have Malware?

Cut the rope is popular game on mobile phones and is available on the pc. Does someone else use your pc? Have you downloaded any software? It could have been bundled with it. Some programs will not show up in the registry and will also not show up in “programs and features” You can navigate to the folder the shortcut is linking to and delete it. If you can’t figure out where it came from run a virus scanner (from the web) just to be safe. If you delete it and it comes back or cannot manually delete it, it could be malicious.
It showed up when I downloaded AVI this morning.
I bet it was bundled with it. That’s common. Do you mean AGV?
That’s weird. I opened it. It doesn’t do anything. Just a white screen.
Thanks. AVG has been bugging me to down load them anyway. You just never know what’s safe and what isn’t. I have Malware, so I figured I didn’t need anything else.
