It's liable to be a 'non-viral' component of a trojan that was previously removed. Boot into safe mode and Click Start > Run > typeservices.msc and click OK Scroll through the list and see if that file is listed. If it is, double click on it. Then disable it. Delete the file.
If it's not listed there, Start > Run > typeregedit and click OK Click the + next to the following keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Microsoft Windows Current Version
Scroll down and click on the Run folder. Look in the right hand window for that file name. right click on it and click delete. Delete the file.
