    Hi, Jonathon. My name is Ivan, and I am an Independent Assessor. I'd be more than happy to assist you. I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this issue. Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to help you.

    This problem may be caused by a program called Desktop Goose that simulates a virtual goose that causes chaos on your desktop. Is this the problem you are having?

    To remove it you must:

    1. Look for a goose icon or any file related to "Desktop Goose" on your desktop or in your file explorer.
    2. Right click on the goose icon or related files and select "Delete".
    3. Empty the Recycle Bin to make sure the goose is completely removed.

    Do you have a restore point from before this program was installed? If the answer is yes, use it to start from this point.
