Where exactly is it being found(exact file path or registry location) What AntiVirus do you have?

Do you have symptoms to suggest the machine has an active infection? Popups, redirects, odd voices/sounds?

If so, follow the advice of scottydont2841.

If not, post the location of the identified threat.
