I recently bought a PC. My cousin used my system this morning.4 some reason while browsing the net he installed a software called as "Intcodec" into my PC. Hez not replying me as y he did install that software.But after that s/w has been installed my sys started giving virus alert mssgs as i dint have a previously installed anti virus package in my sys.I got scared n called up our internet service provider 2 come n check.He uninstalled that s/w from my PC,downloaded an anti virus package n scanned all the files.So as of now my sys is safe,but i find "virus alert" mssg icon in my tray icons from a company called as "spyware quake" n i get a mssg as "your computer is infected" once in every 3 mins from this spywarequake company n asking me 2 buy antivirus s/w from their company.But all my files have been thoroughly scanned n cleaned n therez no virus in my PC now.But this icon doesnt go n doesnt stop messaging me.Plzzzzz help me out 2 get rid of this company's icon n mssgs from my PC.

You have spyware.
First: run http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan.
Secondly: download and run Ewido: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#ewido-free
Thirdly: download AdAware from: http://www.lavasoft.com and run it.
Fourthly: run http://www.windowsupdate.com. However, first(!) backup all your precious data/documents. And make a restore point or a 'ghost backup' of your C-drive.
There are special webpages to remove the quake spyware. However, since you were hit by this spyware, there is a huge possibility you have (lots of!) more spyware. Hence the given above recommendations.

Go into control panel, then appearance and themes(if you have XP,not sure what you have ) then go into taskbar settings. If you see that icon there, you can click on always hide, so it never shows up. It should let you customize what icons you want to see.
