This surprises me, yesterday before shutting down I performed a CCleaner and Malwarbytes Anti-Malware scans.  Plenty of malware was removed, last scan was in June.  Funny how this file was not found anytime between June and now.  How long was it in there?  

 

I will become more diligent.  My PC's continues to slow to a crawl at times.  But that may be from running Win XP professional.  I use this OS for networking and sharing programs for office computers.  My boss is a real penny pincher.  I am concerned that I may be vulnerable in the future.  Will hv to convince boss to increase budge for IT.  This is a small business, nothing in terms of logistical giant.
