    It is not a Windows file, it's been put there by a hijacker.

    Best thing to do is for you to download and run Hijack This and post the log on the Virus information forum. ChrisRLG or somone will tell you what to let Hijack This fix.

    Or download Spybot Search and Destroy. After installing, be sure to let it check for updates, if any download those (they self install), close/reopen Spybot (for the updates to take effect) and then let it scan. Fix all entries it shows in red. These go to its recovery folder, so if ity fixes something that you actually need, you can recover it from there.

    PS: If Windows will not stay open, try starting in safe mode.
