last night i was downloading a free you tube downloader and when it was finished superantivirus said i had a trojan. i was able to remove the trojan with the antivirus software and malware bytes removed other problems but i ended up with some other unwanted progams that i tried removing from the add/remove list but it didn't completely remove this program called "free ride games". it is not listed in the add/remove programs list but it still has left a white box on my desktop and task bar section. how do i remove this from my desktop and task bar? when i right click the empty icon at the task bar it will not allow me to close the program. thank you for any help that can be provided.
