avast or malwarebytes didn't find it but hitman pro did.  it was an exe file and it had a rude file name. i dont know what its purpose was but hitman pro did sat it quarantined it and deleted it so hopefully its gone. it was a root kit.

Hi sirMAXX,

It is the name of the World of Warcraft Bot WoWGlider 0.6.5. launcher & Blizzhackers glider launcher.

Bing search query delivers the search results (2) for you, maybe Google is blocking that search
term?

you should have tested the "suckme.exe" file at www.virustotal.com before you deleted it
