This looks like a classic rogue-antispyware cleanup: uninstalling the visible icons (what did) often leaves protected services, startup entries and modified system settings that keep the fake alerts and red tray icons running. Immediate priorities are to stop the malware from running, remove its startup hooks, and then scan for/remediate leftovers safely.

Recommended quick workflow:

  1. Disconnect from the Internet to prevent further downloads or reconfiguration.
  2. Reboot into Safe Mode (F8) so the rogue code is less likely to be active.
  3. Run a process-killer utility (RKill) to stop malicious processes, then run an up-to-date full scan with a respected anti-malware scanner (Malwarebytes or a reputable AV) and a rootkit scanner.
  4. Use Autoruns (Sysinternals) to inspect and disable unknown Run/RunOnce entries, services and scheduled tasks. Export any Autoruns/registry entries before changing them.

Manual checks to do with care:

  • Backup the registry, then inspect HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon to ensure Userinit and Shell contain the legitimate values (userinit.exe and explorer.exe).
  • Examine Services for unfamiliar names and Scheduled Tasks for one-off launchers.
  • Check the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) and clear temp folders. Delete leftover program folders for the rogue product from Program Files after stopping its processes.

After cleanup, reboot normally, update Windows and all security tools, then run another full scan. If the alert icons or popups persist despite these steps, a clean offline rescue-scan (antivirus rescue CD) or a formatted reinstall is the safest option — back up personal data first and scan backups on a clean machine. Note: removing only the desktop/Start Menu icons does not remove resident components; that explains persistence in ’s case.
