Guys
I am getting two icons that keep popping up on my desktop computer every time I log in. They are nircmd and Newtonscft.json.dll. I move them to the trash bin and they keep reapearing. Is there a way to disable this from coming back again. Did not do this to recently. Anti virus did not find anything.
Thanks

You've got what appears to be a CLI shell and a .NET component suddenly appearing? Sounds like some sort of malware infestation to me. You install anything like a browser and any apps from a less than reputable source?
Newtonscft.json.dll is sometimes installed with visual studio, but the desktop would not be a normal location. Time for you to dig through your remove software list and run some anti-malware scans.
