Geopla--(The following assumes you have right clicked the Taskbar, then left click Toolbars and checked Quick Launch if it not already checked.)
If the icon shows next to Start that does not mean the program is running. That section, called the Quick Launch area, is for shortcuts, not for running programs. Have you checked in TaskManager that MagicJack really is running right after boot ? (Broni already suggested you uncheck any box associated with MagicJack in MSCONFIG. Do that first and reboot.) before looking in TaskManager.)
However, it is weird that the icon is not in the Quick Launch folder. So maybe the following will not work.
I probably have at least twenty shortcuts in my Quick Launch folder. I only let four show in the Quick Launch area. I do this by moving the little double-chevron "bar" over to the left. That squishes the icons in the QuickLaunch area up into a "hidden" menu that you can access by clicking on the chevron. You can also move icons remaining in the Taskbar over to the right by dragging. This allows you to control what is showing and what is in the hidden area. If that is not comprehensible, play with the icons in the QL area for a while.
Of course, if MagicJack has found a way to install an icon which is not a shortcut (explaining why it is not in the QuickLaunch folder) next to Start, then we have a problem. Right click on that icon, then Properties. Does the Properties window show it called a Shortcut? Look at the tabs.) or? Do you get any other right click options, like Preferences or Options? If so, one may allow deletion of the icon.
I was going to end by saying that if the icon is not a shorcut, can you contact MagicJack? Then I started to read some of the reviews on MagicJack. Probably 10% favorable and 90% unfavorable. But of course I suspect complainers are always more likely to post.
Here is one monster review (note I am directing you to page 28 of many since that has a post at the bottom that may help you figure out which item in MSCONFIG belongs to MJ. But there are pages and pages more.)

P.S. I was thinking I would buy MagicJack. Now I suspect not.
