Hi Sabam and welcome to TSF.
My name is Iain and I will be helping you clean your system.
There's not a great deal showing in your log, so we'll do some cleaning and see if we can get rid of that file. Do you know what the file was called?

Please read these instructions carefully and then print out or copy this page to Notepad in order to assist you when carrying out the fix. You should not have any open browsers when you are following the procedures below.
Note that the fix may take several posts. Please continue to respond to my instructions until I confirm that your system is clean.
P2P - I see you have
P2P software (i.e.
BitTorrent) installed on your machine. We are not here to pass judgment on file-sharing as a concept. However, we will warn you that engaging in this activity and having this kind of software installed on your machine will always make you more susceptible to re-infections. It may be contributing to your current situation.
This page will give you further information.
