Unwanted item in task manager

I have an icon on my task manager that keeps show up after I downloaded my
new antivirus software. It is a flashing shield alternating between a ? and
an X and it states system alert -telling me that there are numerous - when I
click on the icon it takes me to a website for a calledn VirusProtect Pro.
How do I get rid of the icon?

Is this a Hilliard Packard machine, which Vista came pre-installed?
