OMFG.
I have an virus on my computer.
It automatically downloaded it.(when i installed a random activeX control)
So then I killed it with ZoneAlarm AV & antispyware.
But a Icon still pops up on my task bar telling me to download it.
Can someone tell me how to delete that???

2. Screenshot of process list and the desktop

I have removed the virus heat from the registry and its folder. But I still have the naging icon in my system tray that continually points me to virusheat .com/?aff=1012. If I can just keep this from automatically loading in my system tray it will sure make my day better.

Ofcourse it does.
It looks like that, cause we should click it, and get more virus.

It is a fake anti spyware program, look into what your reading about before making dumb posts.

The removal instructions are for a certain version of the rouge program.
But it could be similar to the same removal for this very one.
