Favorites Problems Help!!!!

This is my third post (twice in IE 7 forum...no answer). I cannot delete
favorites from favorites list. I have tried deleting while in safe mode
also. After a short while they reappear again and seem to be multiplying! I
cannot find the temporary folder either. I have Compaq Presario with Windows
Vista Home Basic and Explorer 7 installed from factory. Purchased January of
this year. I am familiar with Windows Xp and could find my way around the
computer files, but Vista is really different and complicated! I do not
know what else to do. I also have Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware
installed and have unchecked the box for favorites sheild because I am
constantly being asked to keep or remove the favorites, but if I click remove
they still return and I am asked over and over again the same question. If
this makes any sense to anyon out there and you could give me some advise it
would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know if Webroot is the problem. Webroot was installed from the store
where I bought the computer. The problem with the favorites started just all
of a sudden. Before problem deleting started the favicons dissappeared and
icons changed to white page icons.

You can't delete ANY favorites, or only particular favorites? Which ones?

I cannot delete ANY of my favorites that I have added. I tried de;eting tham
in safe mode as I read in an earlier post, but when I rebooted they returned
again after a short time they reappeared again and each time it seems there
are a few more which now I have about 100 of which most are duplicated and in
some instances three of the same. I had tried replacing some by adding and
replacing them but they only duplicated. I have never had this problem ever!
I did run virus and spyware scans and seems okay there. I cannot locate
temporary internet files from "My Computer" as I could in Windows XP. Seems
Vista is much different from XP and I do not understand how to find my way
around there. I am completely at a loss here. Would appreciate any
suggestions if not too complicated as I am very new to Vista; and I must
add dissappointed with my new PC with Vista!
