How do I get rid of bogus anti-virus icon?

My son downloaded a bogus virus protection program that hijacks his PC and brings up like 50 porno sites. I have removed everything but this one icon in the tray along side the clock, volume control etc. It displays a balloon saying there is spy ware and if you click on it you get the bogus virus protection site again. I can鈥檛 figure out how to get rid of it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

No antivirus or antispyware protection is perfect but a good mixture of the two will help you clean your system and hopefully keep it clean.

First of all update and run your own anti virus %26 anti spyware applications.

Next download, update and run a full scan using the following product:

SuperAntiSpyware will remove the majority of difficult Trojans not just the easy ones.

If possible it is recommended that you load the application in normal mode but run it in Safe Mode. Safe Mode can be started by continually pressing F8 during the boot sequence. However, if you are badly infected you might need to run SuperAntiSpyware more than once to help clean your system. If the only infections now being shown are in System Restore, once you are completely satisfied that you can boot normally, you can either delete the infected restore points manually, or temporarily turn off System Restore.
