This icon located in the bottom right hand corner of my desktop is bothersome and I don't know how to remove it. I have installed the application to my computer and it is also located in the applications folder on my computer, but I cannot remove this icon. Can you show me how?

Is that a shortcut to something? What do you see if you right click on it?
