I did your little tutorial like 4 times, every time when I delete this folder it just comes back.

The gadgets are still a mess.

Download AVG free and log in safe mode, then scan the whole computer and you can also use online scanners. A friend of mine got that nasty thing and MS Security Essentials didn't detect it.

It was some Malware. I cleaned up my PC with several AVs and reinstalled my gadgets and now everything is OK.

Thank you for your help mate!
