How do you delete a desktop icon?

okay so i think my brother went on a website and we got a “virus”
whenever i turn the computer theres this desktop icon/those icons on the bottom right screen that pops up and its tells me to download pc anti spyware 2010. i know its just gonna make my computer crash so i ignore it. but it comes up every minute and sometimes all of a sudden it just starts downloading even when i didnt even click it. also it also made my home page google instead of yahoo. ive tried to look for it at the search engine but i just cant seem to find it. help?
** also, its not in my add/remove programs and i already tried to left/right click it and it just starts downloading the software

when you receive the popups it means the malware is already installed on your computer. it loads those adds to trick you into purchasing the thing. here’s detailed removal instructions: http://www.spywarevoid.com/remove-pc-antispyware-2010.html
