I downloaded WinPatrol because it said that "It helps keeps your system tray free of clutter." So now I have a little dog, a spider representing my anti spyware program, a symbol representing my firewall, a symbol representing my anti virus program and a symbol respresenting my ISP.
Is there a way to get rid of all this stuff and still keep them in an active state

Win patrol is to make sure no unwanted process, programs or active-x operates on your computer without your knowledge. It's a process protector [protects your home page too].

to remove programs from your task bar: Right click on the task bar and select properties, click on 'customize' and then remove what you don't want. The programs will still be working but they won't be on the task bar.

use it to check that you do not have an overload of start-up programs that means that slow your system on start-up

thats my main use for it,

is a great little program have recommended it to all of my friends
