What about deleting all Wondershare files via Finder or quitting the daemon process in Activity Monitor?

have you tried deleting using cleanapp or another similar application that finds all files associated with an application before deleting it?
I did it and did not work
Yes I used cleanapp , app zapper , clean my mac . and none of this worked .

Why did you try to delete the ".htaccess" "file"?

And what about using Activity Monitor and looking for the Wondershare daemon process.
I did not .. the file I uploaded was just to show the Download icon .. the picture itself is just a youtube video I was looking at .
EDIT:
Well.... I have done everything you guys suggested but the freaking " Download" icon remains in every website I visit.
Here another screen shot

I found this thread:

And this line:
"I presume you installed the AllMyTube application. It puts SIMBL in /Library/InputManagers and adds SIMBL.osax to /Library/ScriptingAdditions. After removing these items, it would probably be best to restart your Mac."
I found SIMBL.bundle in the directory. I deleted it (after making a copy) and the download icon was gone. Hope it helps.
