I cannot find any reference to this file anywhere, which leads me to
suspect that it may be a virus or spyware related item.

Make certain your antivirus software is fully up to date with the
virus definitions not more than a week old and do a complete scan of
your system.

Also check for spyware. Download, install, update and run AdAware
(free) from http://www.lavasoft.de

You can also do a quick check for spyware items by going to

Good luck
