What is this thing running in the taskbar?

[MamuMogambo]

Its a little K icon. Right clicking it gives me a menu with an option for settings. This is the settings window. What is it?

The 'K' icon probably belongs to "Kaspersky Antivirus" but it should be red when it's working okay and up to date.
If it's grey it usually means the trial version (or the subscription for updates) has expired.

If you go in to Control Panel > Programs & Features you should find the Kaspersky software listed there if I'm right about the icon. You can uninstall it from there and the icon should no longer be there after restarting Windows.

However, you should really not be running the system without some up-to-date antivirus software, so choose one and install it as soon as possible, certainly before downloading anything else (except antivirus software of course).

Philip its not Kaspersky. As for antivirus I already have MSE. Thanks for the answer though.

I have. The "K" is a hyperlink and so is "This" in my post.

Sorry I was at work and somehow it disappeared :/
Have you checked the list of installed programs?

Ya, I have done that. I have checked the programs running in the Task Manager but there's too many of them to narrow down my search to find this particular application.

I posted the question in another forum and they are guessing its a key-logger. Any way I could remove it?

Try using autoruns to see what is running at startup. You may be able to narrow it down, then just remove it through the windows uninstaller.

OK, so I found out its All-In-One Keylogger. Problem is I do not remember installing it (I did not install it). Its not in the installed programs. Any way you could help me in removing it?

Did autoruns list where the executable is? If so, delete the executable and remove the registry entry that is launching it, then reboot ans see if it's gone.

It's hidden really well. Couldn't find it. I have installed spybot though. I'll try that out.

 

[MamuMogambo]

Spybot couldn't find anything. What should I try now?

 

[Hawkeye22]

You can always try GMER. I haven't used it before, but it seems highly recommended.

Update: I deleted my other comment and reposted it in order to make it chronilocically correct.

Update 2: Spoke too soon... the system is still in a state of transition.
