  • You could start by telling us what OS and file manager you're using. – AFH Sep 04 '16 at 12:23
  • Shutdown the PC. Boot from a **clean installation** (e.g. a live CD with antivirus tools). Run a scan from that clean state. After that you have two choices: Try to fix (but never trust that PC again), or reinstall. – Hennes Sep 04 '16 at 12:24

    I am assuming that this indeed is a virus and that above scan will find it. I that is correct then please read this post: http://superuser.com/questions/100360/how-can-i-remove-malicious-spyware-malware-adware-viruses-trojans-or-rootkit/157533#157533 – Hennes Sep 04 '16 at 12:26
