Re: Annoying popups in System Tray

=?Utf-8?B?VXNobmVsbA==?= <Ushnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> after
much thought,came up with this jewel in
news:4A1D7D7B-0DEC-4034-B247-37D2269F323F@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:

normally when the System adds an icon in the System Tray and you
point your mouse cursor on it, it tells you the name of the
program it belongs to with text information but there are these
two flashing icons on my systems tray that I consider very
annoying and are getting on my last nerves.

One keeps popping up saying Security Alert: Spyware and another
keeps coming up with these offers to download Spyware scanning and
removing software. I don't know how the hell these things got into
my system tray in the first place (yeah I know they get there
through net surfing)

I know that I can remove them through the registry but I have not
since been using Windows known where in the registry System Tray
items are stored.

I'm sure someone here in the communities knows this for sure. I am
using Windows XP- Service Pack 2- Media Center Edition. any help
is already appreciated.


This will cure it.(run in safe-mode)
