Download Ad-Aware (http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html)
Install
Run
Reboot
Run again
Reboot
Run
Reboot

Do it until it's clean.

What I would do is, write down where the file is located.

Then restart in safe mode;

Delete that file.

The End.

I usually buy them at the one barn on the side of the road. Infact, this is the same part of Cambria where I slid off the road and had to wait a few hours for my friend to come and save me and the beast...oh that reminds me.

I always wanted to stop at the fruit stands but never had the time.

Not gonna help. The registry will re-create and reload the file once the computer reboots in normal mode. You need to use Ad-Aware or some other spyware-removal tool that gets rid of the registry keys too.
