This appears to be part of a worm, do a virus scan.

If the program is running, end it via the Task Manager. Then navigate to the location in Windows Explorer and delete the file.

Unless the google and yahoo bars are used then remove these.

It worked like a charm! This particular was full of problems after years of never being cleaned out.
