If you run a HiJackThis log you may be able to see a reference in there. Looks like it adds a button to your window (hence why you have only just seen it)
HiJackthis will help you to remove it.

Can't acces the page

"right click and delete the entry in autoruns for a start." Done

Tell me tomorrow whether you've won :rotfl:

Seriously, looks like it's ok as long as I don't touch it, and as I've deleted it from the tool bar....

I've installed 'Windows Defender' and ran it. It came up with something potentially dangerous which I removed but it wasn't 'Mis Programas', so it looks looks I'm ok
BUT I woke up in the middle of the night remembering something that I'd forgotten all about: about 4 years ago, when we still had dial up, I received a high telephone bill with charges of about £27 to Spain. Nobody in the family phoned Spain and it turned out to be a spyware/ addware (or whatever they're called) internet connection. I must have got rid of it at the time because there were no further problems.
Maybe the icon has been on my toolbar since then and I've never noticed it.:o

So, Street, please check your computer, especially if you still have dial up connection.
And thanks again, albertross and Street, for all your help.:kisses::kisses:
