Annoying task bar icons >:(


Question Posted Tuesday October 2 2007, 8:34 pm

Anyone know how to get rid of a task bar icon thingy from the right bottom corner of your screen? Like has it ever happened to you where this fake or unecesessary anti-virus program installs itself onto your computer and then you uninstall it but the task bar icon remains telling you with annoying pop ups that your computer is infected or has no protection? yeah I have that and I want to get rid of it.

Thanks, ygsgirl.

You can use my guide for "unexplained popups":

Don't bother with the first few paragraphs, it's not caused by your browser.

If that doesn't work, search for "[adware name] removal", like this:
only search advicenators.com

and follow the instructions.

The only thing I can think of is run your spyware program. Anything that just installs itself is something you need to remove.

Best person to ask is theymos. If you don't hear from him, ask him in his inbox. My answer is an educated guess, but theymos is awsome with computer questions.
