It flashes between a yellow question mark, and a yellow x, and when I put the mouse over it says critical system errors. When I click on the icon it takes me to this website. http://www.virusbursters.com/?aff=334 How do I get rid of this icon, and whatever is causing it?

Use these scans to get rid virusbuster for free.
All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

You are infected with the virusburster spyware. Download and run BOTH Ad-ware and Spybot Seek and Destroy. They are free at download.com. They should clean it off your PC. As what the two programs consider to be "spyware" varies a bit, it is always good to run both. One may get something the other does not.

This is caused by a Trojan that falls into the Smitfraud family. These require the use of a specialized program for removal. Here are two sites that specialize in removing these:
