Safely remove hardware

[NCBill]

I recently installed a new modem and now there is an icon in my task
tray that says "safely remove hardware." When I click on it, it comes
up with only one option - to remove the modem I just installed. I
clearly don't want to remove the modem, and I want the icon off my task
tray. I can't find the application that puts this there - can someone
tell me where it is so I can disable or delete it?

icons click Customize. Scroll down to Safely remove hardware and right
click in the behavior collumn. Choose Always hide fro0m the drop-down box.

That hides the icon, but not removes it. Can it be removed?

I don't know of a way.
