FWIW, after seeing this thread, I got nervous and looked at my virus scanner
and discovered that there is an option to scan ADS, which I quickly enabled
and re-scanned my machine. I am using CA eTrust Antivirus... I'm not sure if
other products support the same.

Thanks for all the help everybody, I have definately learned something new
today about the good old Windows systems and NTFS.  I'm just very curious
how it got on my computer to begin with, but on to the fix action.  I was so
mind boggled and bothered about this on my machine, I almost (keyword)
reloaded my entire machine, but as somebody mentioned earlier about a rundll
command and walla done.  I can't believe it was that simple.  The funny
thing about it, no anti viral tools or anti trojan tools would work period
just because I think as somebody already stated it was using an ADS which
apparently is a great way to hide new trojans on any NTFS machine.  This
forum is by far a great tool to learn something new everyday and I
definately have learned something.  Thank you for all your input.
