Perpleks,
Before proceeding further, start a thread in the Virus, Spyware & Malware Removal: http://www.GeekPolice.net/f11-virus-spyware-malware-removal
Request their assistance regarding this infection, I'm not trained in Malware Removals and infections.
I would say if the AV says that the file is malicious I'll stay away from that file.
