Thanks for the speedy answer.
I am a 63yr old novice , [ilook.com] with icons has installed itself in my pc i dont know how to get this out. Can someone tell me how to get rid of it Please!

Two ways to remove programs:
1. Start->settings->control panel-> remove programs-> find parent of ilook.

If not found then use second option. Not as
good, may have registry entries not removed.
2. Righ click on desktop icon-> properties ->
find directory path.

3. go to directory and delete.

delete all icons not needed.

If windows 98 or xp use msconfig to disable programs.

The placement of this icon could be the result of spyware from something that you have downloaded. I have found nothing about this doing a search for ilook.com. Try installing Ad-Aware and getting it's updates. Run Ad-Aware to discover if any spyware is installed on your system. You will find "Alexia", for sure, for this is Microsoft's fairly benign spyware. Remove all of the spyware that Ad-Aware detects. This will not delete any icons and applications associated with the spyware, but it will remove the spyware and disable any applications associated with it from running. To delete the icon, simply "right click" on it and sellect "delete". The icon will be deleted.

disconnecting the power and remove the jumper will not remove the contents of your HD.

If you need to remove the contents of you HD, i.e. wipe out you HD, you can use the format function of dos.
to do this, boot you pc to dos, using a boot disk.
when you see the c:\ prompt, type 'format X:\ /c/u/s' (replace X with the drive letter of you drive)

if you only want to remove the extra icon, go to start, setting, control panel, add/remove program.
select the program that you don't need andclick on uninstall.

No, it won't remove any information from you hardrive, if you are trying to do this you should try formatting the hard drive!!
