Some of these programs introduce a virus into your computer, so also scan your PC using your antivirus program. If you have not installed the two most popular addons for Firefox, I suggest you do that. They are NoScript and Adblock Plus. You can delete such locked files with the RemoveOnReboot utility. To delete a locked file, right-click on the file, select Send To-->Remove on Next Reboot on the menu, and restart your computer.

The DesktopSmiley Toolbar uninstaller will then be called out to perform the un-installation. Try to run a quick scan with Super Antispyware to remove all of the third party cookies that are presently installed (if any). The Windows registry stores important system information such as system preferences, user settings, and installed programs details as well as the information about the applications that are automatically run at start-up. Because of this, spyware, malware, and adware often store references to their own files in your Windows registry so that they can automatically launch every time you start up your computer.

The ad has links that if you click on them you will be "infected" with desktopsmiley and whatever else it brings with it. DesktopSmiley Toolbar is only compatible on Internet Explorer version 6 or up.To effectively remove Desktop Smiley from your Windows registry, you must delete all the registry keys and values associated with Desktop Smiley, which are listed in the Registry Keys.
