Editing Desktop Task Bar

How do I edit the program shortcuts in the desktop task bar (right hand side near
the clock).
When not paying attention I clicked on a link I shouldn't have done when surfing
the web, it tried to auto install a piece of spyware blocking software.
While I cleaned up the few files it deposited on my hard drive and there is no apparent
damage I am left with an annoying blinking icon on my taskbar between my clock and
the internet connection icon.
This button goes to the website for the spyware blocking software (hah!) and comes
up with a page about buying etc.
Is there anyway to edit the buttons that are present in the desktop task bar?.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards

The Icon in the system tray is Malware itself. Probably should register at one of
the Malware removal forums. The steps to remove these are somewhat time consuming
with multiple steps.

Icons that are by the clock are applications that are running in the background.
If this icon shows up as soon as Windows starts up then you need to Run: msconfig
this will show you what apps are running on start up, you can remove what you want.
A better method would be find what is running from the registry but it depends on
how experienced you are.
