Do i have Spy-ware or something else?
there is something wrong with my pc. two unwanted shortcuts have appeared on my desktop one named “QUALITY PORN” and one named “BEST ZOO PORN” they both link to porn sites according to there porperties. but i cant delete them as when i do they just reappear minutes later. also i keep getting warning messages popping up oen for example says Halt! Critical System Failure. and goes on to say i have spyware and that i should scan now if i press yes i can link to a site such as scanner.vav-x-scanner.com/29/?advid=0000005378&SVFDSSDSDSDSDS++ luckily my norton security blocks it. they also appear as symbols beside my clock 2 being red circles with a whit cross in side and another 2 being 2 yellow triangles with a black question mark inside. i have tried Rogue Remover super antispyware and ccleaner but it continues to happen does any one know what is going on or how to stop it?
does the malware protection and the superantivirus get rid of the shortcuts?

You have a rogue program on your PC, run (free):

then run:

According to an article by the Washington Post,
Norton Antivirus had one of the worst average response times
for providing virus definition updates based on the worst virus outbreaks,
lagging behind every major competitor, including NOD32, Kaspersky,
Quick Heal, F-Secure, Sophos, Avira, Trend Micro, F-Prot, Panda, Protector Plus, AVG, avast!, ClamWin, and McAfee.

Symantec/Norton Live update are responsible for BSOD ( Blue Screen Of Death )
for millions of PC in China
