Today was the first day it popped up since I deleated it. S&D says it may be rootkit, whatever that is. I'll go back through and get rid of it again. Thanks again.

though i know google explains it better

A rootkit is a set of software tools frequently used by a third party (usually an intruder) after gaining access to a computer system. These tools are intended to conceal running processes, files or system data, which helps an intruder maintain access to a system without the user's knowledge. Rootkits are known to exist for a variety of operating systems such as Linux, Solaris and versions of Microsoft Windows. A computer with a rootkit on it is called a rooted computer.
