PCWorks: Stubborn icons in the System Tray

Hello again,

Using Windows XP on a Compaq and using AVG and ZoneAlarm
along with Ad-aware,
Spybot, etc. to protect the system, and having heard that it
is not wise to
use multiple vir*s protectors, I deleted what is called
here, "Windows
Security System". I see no adverse effects but the
"Windows Security Alerts"
icon remains on the System Tray. It looks like a small red
badge with a white
x on it. Does anyone know where in the system I can remove
that icon OR, is
there any program that removes "stubborn" icons
from the System Tray?

While I'm at it, there is also an icon there called
"Safely Remove Hardware"
and when open, there are two icons listed both reading
"USB Mass Storage
Device" (which contrary to the name, "Safely
Remove Hardware," will never stay
removed). Since nothing else ever appears in that 
"Safely Remove Hardware"
window, I might use the above mentioned System Tray
"stubborn icon remover"
(if there is one) to also remove that "Safely Remove
Hardware" icon. I'd be
happy to keep just three icons in that System Tray (AVG,
ZoneAlarm, and the
internet connection; I don't count the clock as an icon).
