Default Desktop problems - Solution

At least I am hopeful that the solution is here. Recently I posted a
request for help in regard to my desktop icons and text changing everytime I
booted up. A few days ago it was necessary to uninstall McAfee. I have not
had the desktop problem since, I am in hopes that the AV was the problem.

Most likely, as Frank said. Don't go to Norton(Symantec). It's worse.
You might want to try a less intrusive, but effective *free* AV product,
such as Avast or AVG (there may be others as well):

I'm using Avast here and find it effective. No viruses yet

Thanks. Exactly what I did, installed Avast and its only been a couple of
days, but programs and the OS seems to be working faster and smoother.
