Solved Unwanted Icons in System Tray

[Klhill]

I have noticed that I have several unwanted icons in my Notification Area (System Tray). Icons that appear to be malware. They are: WebCompanion.exe, wb.exe, pcm.exe, pccum.exe. These exe files and icons only appear in the system tray. Anti-virus and anti-malware report that the system is clean. They do not show up in a search or uninstall program. Deleting "IconStreams" and "PastIconStreams" in the registry did not remove the icons on reboot. Anybody have a clue??

I think you should download HijackThis! and then post the results here:

These guys will keep you right. In the meantime, anything you do yourself might make the situation worse.
