Looks like malware. Start by deleting the problem file - it is not a native
Windows file.

Perform some scans for malicious software first, then fix any
remaining issues:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware
detection programs:

Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpywa (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

They can be uninstalled later if desired.

Thanks to both of you. I had tried to delete the file but was unable to find
it. I think it is a hidden file. Jose, I've downloaded the malwarebytes.org/
and ran a quick scan and found 17 infected files. i'll run a full scan and
I'm also going to dwnld the superantispyware.com/ file .... hopefully this
will help
Thanks so much

Good.

I do not understand the logic in running quick scans - why skip things
unless you are in a big hurry and only want some things scanned.

I know what the file is and how to fix the issue, but we don't want to
spend time trying to fix an infected system.
