dissable System Restore (right-click My Computer>properties>system restore... tick the box. click OK.
restart in Safemode http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chsafe.htm and scan your PC using Spysweeper and anyother antiviruse/spyware/adware removing peograms you have.
if you know the Filename, after doing the scans in safemode, find the file manualy and delete it manualy if its still there
restart and it should be alright. re-enabel system restore0 -
