What have you tried so far? Have you used Spybot, Ad-Aware SE and Windows Defender to try and remove it? If it is just a case of deleting the file, try booting into safe mode and deleting it. Or try using HijackThis! to delete it on the next system reboot.

Thanks, I'll try Spybot and Adaware. I tried Pest Patrol and Norton and others, as well as manually deleting it.

I'll try the others and then SafeMode.
