Have you tried running a virus and an adware scanner to see if it gets rid of the file for good? Doesn't take a brainbox to try that one out...

Anti-adware/spyware/anti-virus programs cannot find everything.  It's probably one of among hundreds of thousands of andware/spware apps.  Start in safe mode and search your computer for that exact file; upon finding it, either rename or delete it (depending upon your confidence level that it is indeed crap).  

It will be either in Windows, Windows\system32 or in one of your temp directories or one of IE's "Temporary Internet Files" directories.  You should empty these directories on a regular basis, anway; and many times it's best when doing so in safe mode.  

As always; do a reality check and be sure you don't "need" the file or that it's not a part of a legimitate application that is needed.  But it looks like crap (even smells like crap)....
