It is not a WindowsXP or System32 file. Rightclick it and delete it
Keep it in your recycle bin for a few days in case you need to restore it
It may belong to some application you downloaded from the Interne
or an installed 3rd party application and enables it to retrieve updates in the future.
You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the HijackThis Logs forum at http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.**
Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
[Many anti-spyware sites continue to suffer from a week-long DoS attack.

You can't delete it because it is running. You have to use a program
such as Spybot S&D or AdAware.
