An icon looking like a notebook has appeared from nowhere on my desktop. It has GEAREXT underneath. Should I be worried?

You can right-click on the icon and select Properties: that should tell you something about it. You can also right-click, select "Open with" and open it in Notepad. (This will work whether it's a text file or not, though a big file could take a long time to load.) If you find it contains a list of CDs that you have burned, then it's a log file from one of Gear Software's DVD and CD burning programs (gearsoftware.com).
