>> I have face with this problem like you so
many times. As for me, first time is VLC icon take
all of desktop icon and then MS word, Windows
Media Center, Acrobat... so many..
>>This is not virus. You are right.
Ways of solving various problems, icons change...
>> 1. Uninstalling that software is a way of
Solving this problem. But if u install that Software
again it will happen like that before.
>> 2. If media file icon change..For me.. Windows
Media Center icon take place all over...I install
SPlayer and Restart my computer. Every icon is in
their Original state. Because after installing
SPlayer it ask " to use it as default player " i check
that box. In this way i solve that problem. Don't
forget to Restart PC after install Splayer.
>> 3. For adobe acrobat icon.... i install SPlayer
and then i ....Right Click on the Acrobat icon and
Choose Open With...And then choose SPlayer and
click OK.
Then Restart PC...After that All icon will change
SPlayer...
Finally Uninstall Splayer...and Restart the PC...
In this way u can also solve the problem..But u
can't Install Splayer again.
>>4. What icon change i can;t remember

registry key to change Icon to its Original State...
