This is a malware file. If your (unnamed) removal tools really cleaned
your computer (and you should review the information at the link below
to see if you were as thorough as you should have been), then the
removal tools left a reference to the malware in Startup. Use the System
Configuration Utility or AutoRuns to remove it.

thanks Malke
I downloaded the Auto runs and then deleted the entries and it seems
to have done the trick. I will go through your full advice sheet and
implement the steps on security as well to make sure i don't have the
same problem again.
