That is an unfounded and almost certainly worthless "assertion" based 
on no more than the filename.

How often does this have to be repeated??

   Filenames are seldom useful _AND NEVER SUFFICIENT_ for diagnosing
   what malware is present.

The OP should, as already advised, send the suspicious file to 
professional malware analysts if a current virus scanner does not 
detect it as something already known to be bad.
