Hi, Lisa.
It is not uncommon that uninstalled programs retain the icon in the Notification Area. The Notification Area icons can be reset with a regedit, simplified by the script created by Ramesh Srinivasan at How to Clear Customize Notifications (System Tray) Icons in Windows 7/Vista and XP - The Winhelponline Blog.

Script to Automate
Here is a VBScript (runs in Windows XP/Vista/7) that can automate the above task for you. Download clear-notification-items.zip, unzip and run clear-notification-items.vbs file. It clears Customize Notifications items and restarts Explorer shell automatically.
