I removed this file becouse one it is in my temp folder and two it may or may not be assosted to malware. System temp folder can be used to reinstale some mallware and all files can be deleted safely in temp folders.. when reomoving mallware make sure you clear out your temp folder or you may have to repeat the cycle of getting ride of the malware on your system...
