I also had to delete the shortcut on the desktop. All seams well now!

This rogue app is much more advanced then is brother program xp antivirus (which is quite simple to remove). If anyone has any other ideas or has found a way to remove it please post it. I really do hope so, this rogue app has only been out for a couple of weeks and has infected a ton of systems very quickly and needs to be doubt with quickly to stop this flow of infections on peoples systems.
