I have two icons on my task bar that are linked to a website. I have sent them emails to have them take them off my computer, and no response from them.

AntiVirGear is a rogue anti-spyware program which is installed via Zlob Trojan infections.

Go the this link
Scroll down to where it says Automated Removal Instructions for AntiVirGear:
And follow the instructions given there.

Post back after you try that.

You should protect yourself from spyware by being more careful online and installing an anti-spyware program such as SpyBot Search & Destroy. It's free
