    Restart your computer and see if it runs ok.

    I hope you CUT and pasted, not just COPY.

    I too have that file. Right don't get the error message now. It is on the desk top so what do I do now? Do I need it? Is it a virus/worm?

    Leave it there for now. You don't need it. Follow my instructions to run a scan with Malwarebytes' AntiMalware.

    Yes, you should choose it. I neglected to add that as I thought that it would be obvious. Sorry. After choosing said option and the program completing said function, re-boot. and scan again.
