    Boot into safe mode and then delete it there if it will let you.

    Rootkits are tricky. You can try using combofix. They're problem is they get into some odd places and aren't always easy to get rid of. Many companies, when faced with rootkits, are forced to do re-installations. Even when a rootkit is gone, it may still be hiding somewhere and just inactive.

    Looks like I got rid of it in safe mode

    Thought I was going to have to do a factory settings restore
