Instead of going though > start > Shut Down / Restart etc, is there a way of creating those icons on my desktop?

Well Hopefully you leant from that and got a decent AV and firewall.
Also use a free malware program
I also recommend using firefox and use the noscript addon.

That indicates a problem with your browser settings, not a problem with Google.
Your browser security settings should never be set low enough to let any website install anything on your PC unless explicitly trusted.
The best setup that I've found is Firefox with NoScript.

As for AV & firewall, I have McAfee paid sub and superantispyware, as I say, my knowledge is very, very limited which is why I try not to do anthing with the settings / downloads etc, etc.Click here for Martins (MSE) advice on who to contact with Debt Issues - YOU HAVE NO REASON TO USE A FEE PAYING DEBT MANAGEMENT COMPANY- THEY CANNOT DO ANYMORE FOR YOU THAN THOSE LISTED IN MY LINK ABOVE.

I just created a new icon using the above, but realised you have to have an individual icon for each options, rather than having one icon for all 3.Click here for Martins (MSE) advice on who to contact with Debt Issues - YOU HAVE NO REASON TO USE A FEE PAYING DEBT MANAGEMENT COMPANY- THEY CANNOT DO ANYMORE FOR YOU THAN THOSE LISTED IN MY LINK ABOVE.
