no. some of the limited number of icons that can be changed via the registry might be located in shell32.dll. that's all. use Icon Packager for what it is capable to do. don't expect more functionality or bug fixes. if you are lucky, they might happen even today ... or they might not happen at all.

adf.ly is a legit (though highly annoying) url-shortening service that generates money for site owners via advertising. it's not malware, it's not even software (depending on the definition of software of course) my guess is that what happened to your computer is an infection with some malware that makes income for the malware developer by generating clicks on adf.ly urls. the links you provide at the end of your post to sites like computervirusmanualremval, pccar
