what OS are you using?

what scanner is giving you the result?

have you re-started your computer since you found it?

if it doesn't, check out the F-Secure livecd and boot from it. It provides a (dual-engine, F-Secure & Kaspersky) anti-virus toolkit that scans your system while not active. That is a pretty awesome (and free !!) thing, if you ask me.
