  Show hidden files then upload to Virus Total or Jotti for a scan. It might be a false positive.
  
  To show hidden files:
  
  

  [*]Open My Computer.
  [*]Go to Tools > Folder Options.
  [*]Select the View tab.
  [*]Scroll down to Hidden files and folders.
  [*]Select Show hidden files and folders.
  [*]Untick Hide extensions of known file types.
  [*]Untick Hide protected operating system files (Recommended).
  [*]Click Yes when prompted.
  [*]Click OK.
  [*]Close My Computer.
