heaxe.dll

[anonymous]

i have a file named heaxe.dll that is currently taking up
more than 20 gigabytes in my System32 folder. Im not sure
if it should be there or not but judging by its size im
assuming that it shouldnt. Ive tried to delete the file
but it says that it is write-protected or in use which is
not true. Can anyone help with this problem?

program and also checked for any spyware that may be on your system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
