I downloaded Firefox from morzilla and it was bundled with PCfixTray.exe and App24X7Help.exe, I removed them from My Programs but they still show up under icons
How to remove these completely, did Morzilla come with Malware?? I can't even search for these 2 programs using Revo Uninstaller and I can't find them under Search or Programs

Please remember: Firefox is free software managed by Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit organisation.
So if you downloaded Firefox and it was bunbled with that software, you probably downloaded it from a non-official source.
Mozilla website is the official trusted source for downloading Firefox binaries, and users are encourage to download the browser from there to prevent fakes or malware installations.
Next time, download firefox from http://www.getfirefox.com/ - easy to remember, isn't it.
Regarding the software you got:
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
