    What "grey star"? Do you know what program is associated with this? Start
    with the basics:

    Be sure the computer is clean:


    If the computer is virus/malware-free - and *only* when you are sure of this
    - do clean-boot troubleshooting to find out with what program the "grey star"
    is associated so you can remove it.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista -


    If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this
    isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair
    shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible,
    have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.
