i googled it too, and came up with a site that cited it as a possible trojan. might want to check that out!

in fact i checked more results and they all have something to do with "trojan" in the preview of the result. I'd get rid of that thing!

The disadvantage to using free spyware/adware/AV scanners is that they don't handle as many definitions as the equivalent paid software does. Spybot may handle 50,000 spyware/adware signatures, for example, while Spyware Sweeper (a paid scanner), handles over 200,000.

Bottom line, don't rely on software that is free. It's cost beneficial, but not always the best for the security of your computer. If anything, freeware/shareware can give you a false sense of security which is much worse than none at all.

bottom line is good on you to find it. not all of us can afford stuff to do everything for us.

Right...so, find your own virus and cure it then.

Seriously, when it comes to a virus, what are your options? Jaz has a good point and it happens to be true. Pay or format, that's the way it is.
