Greetings --

That file is one of the results of being infected with one of the
most widely known worms on the planet.

W32.Welchia.Worm a.k.a. W32/Nachi.Worm

If you connected the PC to the Internet without having first
installed the KB824146 Hotfix, without having first installed an
antivirus application with current virus definition files, and before
enabling a firewall, you're very likely to get infected from any of
the thousands of PCs on the Internet that are constantly broadcasting
the Blaster and/or Welchia worms. It only takes a few seconds of
exposure.
