You can find more information here: http://www.shouldiremoveit.com/iBryte-54484-program.aspx
I recommend you to scan with the free Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, which is good in detecting and removing PUPs - Potentially Unwanted Programs, which this sounds like.

Hello,
Some points, which can be helpful... for background/setting in your situation:
-> Which detection name created by Scan Wizard - if it detected (?!).
-> Steps can be related with version of "current trash-application" and how it comes. If you have any ideas... how it was installed (like payload with any other software... or just current one without any "hard steps").
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But anyway...
- You able to search for system (and after that for Registry) by words "name_of_application/part of name" - and checking all of found items... remove it (for example) and remember "when it was".
Same thing.. can to do with Registry (by "Run" -> regedit) and search by that word (or related words - if you see something suspicious in your directories).
- You able goes to msconfig (by "Run" -> msconfig) and check Autorun/Services for any "related" items (or goes to Autorun/Services by TaskManager for moden operation-systems).
Disabled that.
Or.... to use something like CCleaner and check features around "Autorun/Browsers Extensions" for any related items and disabled/removed by that source.
- Re-check any other system settings - Firewall rules, hosts-file (system32/drivers/etc) and manually each browser for shorcuts/settings/extensions.

I found a sample at herdProtect.com (a multi-engine scanner) saying that 4 of 68 scanners detected it as "Potentially Unwanted". The link in my previous post - Malwarebytes, was one of these 4 scanners.
The iBryte program was probably installed at the same time you installed some other program, as a co-bundled offer (called "bundleware"). Read this to understand it better, it's also a review of a bundleware protection product called Unchecky:
