Hi,

This is not a MS file so I would suggest you start by doing
a virus scan with up to date virus software, then scan for and
removing any installed spyware. If you are in need of virus
software, here are a couple to choose from, for free.
Download the software, and in Update Manager run Update
then do a complete virus scan.

Search and destroy any installed SpyWa
Ad-aware is a free multi spyware removal utility that scans
your memory, registry and hard drives for known spyware
components and lets you remove them safely. After installing
Ad-Aware make sure to run the update feature before scanning.
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ For large amounts of installed
spyware and such, it may be necessary to run Ad-Aware several
times to clear them all.

SpywareBlaster:

SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it
prevents it from ever being installed. SpywareBlaster is
a non memory resident utility. It works by setting a "kill bit"
for the CLSIDs of spyware ActiveX controls, it prevents the
installation of any of them from a webpage.
