Hello Chris and thank you, that answered my question. And now another, if I may :) I keep getting this file on my desk even after I have put it into the recylce bin and emptied it. It always ends up back on my desktop. I am not too sure what this file is from (the registry maybe, or I also think it might have something to do with the security and virus program) but anyway I try to click on the file and says it cannot be opened. I have copied the file properties to see if maybe you or someone can make heads or tales of it: ~ this squiggly icon is what the file shows
That symbol above is what is on the bottom of the file icon on the desktop and also when I click on properties, is what the file is showing. Also this is the location that is listed on the file next to file location: That is my name "Julie" so I am very confused as to what this file is what it is for and why it cannot be removed and keeps showing back up on my desktop. Anyone have any ideas or know where else to refer me for this problem. Thanks.

You probably have lots of activeX controls on your computer already.
If you are running spywareblaster and spywareguard and ie-spyad then you should be safe.
Sites like mcafee are safe to receive activeX controls from anyway.
