Re: New Icon on desktop “debug”
I check properties. The dates are all for the day for an online document. I open, after a scan, and nothing is there. I didn’t download whatever it is. Scan shows its all right.
How do I stop it from showing up every time I turn on my computer?
And how did it get there?
The only document I saved recently in Wordpad is an email.
Is that email the source?
Thank you
Welcome to the forums, dayryme 
Is that online document with Google?
Well, there are other ways to get that icon.
See the below Google search which may require browsing through several pages of results for something you might recognize as being related:

Hello CharleyO
The icon was nothing like those on that Google page.
It looks like the looseleaf document icon found on Windows.
Whatever it is (that I’ve deleted twice to have it show up again),
is gone this time turning my system on.
Before I shut down last time, I went to run > msconfig > Start Up…I unchecked a couple of boxes on things I didn’t recognize: one of the two for mwsoemon, error fix and a Google update thing.
I will report back if that debug icon shows up again.
I don’t know why it began showing up to begin with.
Thank you for your help
Icon is there when I closed IE.
Its not the Windows document icon.
Its a white spiral (spiral on top) notebook page facing right formated as
a letter…address, body and signature.
It took a while to show up.
I’m going to delete it again.
Then open and close IE to see if that is when it shows up.
I read about a problem on Google with instructions to go into iGoggle page and click hide on chat. I did that with one gmail account. I restart computer after deleted the debug empty document. Open IE. I open another gmail account, the icon pops up.
Evidently, its a Google problem they haven’t fixed.
No reply as yet on Google forums
The debug empty document icon didn’t show up on my desktop
when I was using Mozilla.
Hello all, I have the same strange note pad looking icon that is called Debug as well. I can delete it go to Internet Explorer close out and it is there again. I have 4 pc’s in my home and it shows up on everyone of them. Any ideas or fixes to this yet?
I think I just found the fix for me I went and removed Google Talk plug in which was the most recent instal / update for me and it has not gone away. Just FYI…
