Suddenly yesterday, my desktop icons have a problem. The wordings
originally below the icon was not enclosed in anything. But now, the
wordings are enclosed in a frame, all of them. The frames take space,
overlap a bit on adjacent ones, and individual icons are a bit hard
to identify. Did the spywares and anti-virus checks and cleaned up,
but did not solve the problem.

I've tried to get rid of the frames but I can't. Right click on
desktop/properties and tried some of the things there, bit without
success. Would appreciate some help.
TIA

Any chance you can post a screen shot to Photobucket or similar freebie
place? I can't tell just what you're trying to describe as there is not
literal "frame" involved there, but there is a space always dedicated to
the name for the icon's program name. It can be any color including the
same color as the screen background, or whatever the user wishes. So
the "frame" is there at all times even when it's not obivously seen.
Unhighlight the icon and usually you'll see the full text if that's the
problem. If the icons are located close together enough, their name
fields will indeed cover each other on the edges.

If you can't do a photobucket and description, maybe you can just
describe what it looks like in a lot more detail. I suspect all that
happened is the icon text background color was the same as the screen
background and it got changes to something else. Maybe?
