This is in my computer in Prefetch. When I send it to recycle bin, and delete it, it comes back! I have AVG anti-virus but it does not recognise it. Zone Alarm has it in Program Control and I have managed to disable it there, but that is not getting rid of it.
Can anybody enlighten me please?

To get rid of the virus or Trojan that keeps coming back, it is often due to the fact that it copies itself to the system restore folder.
Disable System Restore from your Control Panel and boot up in safe mode.
Run your Antivirus and let it clean once and for all.
Remember to re-activate your System Restore Option again one it's all over.
Works every time for me.

Search your computer for the file. The file is in another directory.
The prefech folder contains copies of files that are loaded that is why it keeps coming back
It's either spyware or some kind of virus that renames itself.
As a web search produces no results and that is very rare.

Ha-Ha, well i've picked myself up off the floor!
thought i'd misread that!! ;)
anyway (and this is for absolutely any file that you don't know what it is/or does)
SIMPLY! type in the filename to your search bar, and visit one of the related sites!!
but being honest, i wouldn't bother looking, it's more than likely crap you don't need!
download and install prevx (this will advise you what it is and does! then uninstall prevx!)

It is a virus, and you probably have to delete it from your registry to get rid of it completely.
