So I decided to use my Windows partition for a change, big mistake. I got a trojan  >.<

So anyways, I've scanned my computer and I'm pretty sure that it's gone. But, there's this red circle with a white x in the taskbar. But, when go to Customize Notifications it's name is
Quote<no title>

So is that a real notification or is it just something left over from the trojan? If so, how do I remove it? And, how can I make sure that the trojan is gone. And, don't say "Windows sucks!!1111!" or something like that. Also, I know a format would fix it, but I don't want to format my computer.
