I think the file was a virus. Most viruses on their first run make hidden copies of themselves in different locations in the disk and add themselves to startup programs so they can start automatically with computer’s start. I would suggest you to remove the progarm from startup programs (it has got added to registry). You may restore the computer to a restore point that was created before the download. Hope it works.
