Re: Should I be worried?

You could try the free on-line trend housecall antivirus and see if that gets rid of it...

Or try to delete all system restore points.... AFTER you have cleaned it.

Just a couple of ideas.

It's in a file which has been saved by a system restore.

You need to disable system restore, then try running AV

In your case you have created a restore point when it was on your machine, so you need to clear your restore point to get rid of it.
I get this regularly :rolleyes:

edit: forgot to read properly first time :D

Re: Should I be worried?

type trojan removal into google and download on of those progs m8, they usually work for me. Trojan remover free trial is good.
