I can suggest to start off with, is disabling your current security, and going with NOD32 or another internet security.
Search at download.com and do the trial or ask Kevin for a code (he's a wizz-kid!)

Hope this helps :)

Thanks for that, but my zonealarm is fine. Ive got a yearly license for it and it works a treat, I just don't know how that file got there, because I haven't even used the laptop.

Maybe its not a virus and a mistake.
Anywho, trace up the address and learn what's gone wrong from there.
You should then be able to delete it manually.
