Default Pc Doctor On Call

Hi

about 2 weeks ago "PC DOCTOR ON CALL" appeared on my start up tray. I can't figure out how to get rid of this program. I can't find it on the add/remove programs. It's hidden somehow.

I believe I installed it a year ago and now it shows up???

Does any one know about this program and how I can get rid of it?

Start, run, msconfig, startup tab, disable it and any other non-essential programs, reboot and see if it still pops up.

I went to msconfig and disabled the programs I wasn't sure and it still appears on start up.
