Hi Brad,

Looks like your antivirus software caught and deleted a virus. Problem is,
it caught it after it had executed, then only did half the job. It removed
the file, but not the registry references that load it. Start/run regedit,
check under these keys for the string that loads it:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

Delete the appropriate string from the right pane.
