[PCWorks] How do I get this out of my system tray?

During a period on the internet I was attacked by this scanning device 
that wants me to buy their software to prevent spam etc.

Somehow it ended up in a blinking mode in the sys tray and I can not 
get rid of it. From time to time it pops up saying my computer is at 
risk and I should do something.

If I click on the icon either right or left it takes me to this web 
site. http://www.antispycheck.com/?aid=1012

What was also interesting was I was using FF but this came up in IE 
which I did not launch.

I have used msconfig and the startup tab to no avail. I also used TUT 
(The ultimate troubleshooter)which to me at least tells me what things 
are for.

I have removed a file of sorts with the add remove programs.

Any ideas?
