igfxtray.exe is a process that indicates the presence of Trojan Horse, I think. Intel 81x graphics card drivers uses a process with the same name. In order to get rid of Trojan horse, viruses, worms, spywares, malwares, etc.. there are many powerful Anti-virus software tools available on the internet.

igfxtray.exe provides a tray icon for quick access to features of some Intel graphics chips, such as the ability to change color depth and resolution. Since Windows itself offers easy access to most of this functionality, it is recommended to remove this program from startup using MSCONFIG.
