Install, update and run Spybot-S&D. Have Spybot fix all red entries it lists.

Yes, It's safe to delete it.

If Spybot didn't remove it, Download 'Hijack This!'. Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
When the scan is finished, click "Save Log", and copy and paste it in a reply.

HijackThis!
