I uninstall spyhunter and also don't the reset notification thing and its still in notification. Even when I restart the computer.

Once SpyHunter Uninstall window appears, it will ask you if you’re sure you wish to remove SpyHunter. Click Yes to start the uninstallation process. This will start the uninstallation process.

Don't know much about Spyhunter.

When I see a program that still appears to run after using the programs built in uninstaller or add/ remove programs or a third party software removal utility what I usually do is:

Reinstall it to get a clean copy to remove.

Reboot.

Stop the program from running. Sometimes by right clicking the icon in the notification area and clicking "Exit". Sometimes by checking running processes. Sometimes by disabling it's startup entry and rebooting.

Check to see if it installed a service. If the service is running - disable it.

Then try uninstalling it again.

What happens when:

1). You left click on the icon
2). You right click on the icon

Hi,

So it's not running and you want to remove the icon from the list of previously used icons.

There's a tutorial here:

Notification Area Icons - Reset

Note: Requires a reboot.

Here's the manual method to clear out old icons.

Start> Run then type

regedit

Press ENTER

Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify

In the right pane right click IconStreams and choose delete

Right click PastIconStreams and choose delete

Then open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del

On the processes tab highlight explorer.exe and end the process by clicking the box on the bottom right hand side of the window.

Then choose File > New Task > Run

Type explorer.exe

Choose OK
