Hello,
I beleive I found a suspicious file on my machine used as an explorer.exe shell. I've been trying to remove it all day, with no luck. Below is my HJT Log:

----------------------------------
Also, I've booted into Safe Mode and attempted to delete this file. I ran HijackThis shortly after entering Safe Mode. I can delete the file—stivc.exe—but is recreated in seconds. I've ran Symantec AntiVirus, Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, a-squared, and Trojan Hunter. The program Trojan Hunter said it was a possible trojan file, but did not remove it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
