If its just the Icon, right click and delete and if it goes into your recycle bin, just delete it again from there.

It does not go into recycle bin, it asks me that I must be an administrator, which I am, but then it does not delete. It is not proper Mozilla logo, instead it is a blank white square , saying Mozilla.

Did you try rebooting your laptop?

Download Unlocker but be careful during installation to choose advanced not the quick install and untick 3 boxes referring to Delta.

When installed right click unwanted icon, select Unlocker and delete.

That should do it.

thanx, there are too many sites, unblocker .co.uk does not give any options.

After all,I installed Google, then asked for help telling them the problem I was having. In the morning I switched the pc on and similar window with all the crap appeared, and then the whole window disappeared as though some one was interrogating them. Then pc came on again and every thing is working beautifully.
Thank you Google and every one who tried to help.

I don't know what you did, but it sounds a bit dodgy.

You can't 'install' Google-it's a search engine. So I'm unclear as to what you actually installed?

Even I am confused now, I get a message that there is a faster browser, I had Lava soft, I deleted that, don't know what these are, none of the software state what they are who the supplier is. Have updated windows 7, I amrunning out of ideas.
