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?

before you deleted it
