This appears to be malware that was partially removed. That is,

whatever scanner you used seems to have deleted the file but failed to

remove all references to it.

 

What did you use?

 

Try one or more of:

Malwarebytes Antimalware: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

Spybot Search & Destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html

Ad-Aware Free: http://lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

 

Be *sure* to update these after you install them and before your run them.

You have a Vundo/ZLOB/SDBot infection, all protected by a rootkit.

Run a thorough check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log

to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2

(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in

conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on

its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any

hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30,

http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,

http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, or other appropriate forums for review

by an expert in such matters, not here.**

 

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this

isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and

independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
