Answer 1

This is a cache file you downloaded from the internet by visiting a particular website (which one, i don't know).  You can try clearing your cache in Explorer.  This should delete the file. After doing so, restart your computer to ensure all cache is clear.

Run the program that detected this threat and see if it is still there.  A couple of times, my computer actually put this file in the backup directory because i had system restore enabled.  Hope this doesn't happen to you.

Let us know.
