Boot in Safe Mode, you have 99% chances to delete the file. Then you have to find where it starts, you can use Autoruns from www.sysinternals.com

Hit CTRL+Alt+DEL while using windows, then hit Processes Tab, then select the above mentioned file and hit End Process and then you'll be able to delete the file.
