It does appear to be the result of a virus.

A good anti-virus package should catch and remove it. Make sure you're running
one regularly, and that it's database of virus definition is being updated
daily.

I've also found this on a quick way to get rid of it:

but I do strongly recommend the anti-virus software approach.
