Greetings CaptDave:

I, too, have this mysterious icon with the tilde on my desktop.  I
think it's spyware but I'm not sure I have a spyware program but it
doesn't seem to keep this icon away).  I've tried to find the
properties and file name with no luck.  I wind up dragging it to the
trash each time.

Best regards and looking forward to the answer,
journalist-ga

It's gone. When I deleted W32 Beagle, the deletion process killed it
too. Thanks, I'm all set now.
