Vista - System Tray Icon

I have this phantom system tray icon, it's just a blank/black square in my
systems tray that sometimes dissapears, and then reapears when I click the
expand arrow to expand the system tray. I've recently recovered from a
trojan, and now windows one live care and PCtools Spyware doctor do not
detect any security threats. However this Icon won't go away and it's
bugging the heck out of me. My system appears to be running slightly slower,
and I see that the CPU utilization never drops below 12% even when I closed
every open application and disable any other system tray programs. I have a
feeling that this ICON could be a problem... Deos anyone have any ideas?
Also, I've searched every single process with www.processlibrary.com and they
all appear to be known as safe items. Please help... This is driving me
crazy.
