Hi jobeream,

That's not an error message you've posted there - it's a filename and location! When submitting a question, you should include the full message you receive, and other relevent details such as the Windows version you are using.

But as the file mentioned is most likely a 'browser help object' and not a normal part of the Windows directory contents, I suspect it is part of some 'Spyware' which has attached itself to Internet Explorer. I'm moving this to the 'Security' forum section, and you should follow the advice contained in the article there:

Helping yourself: What to do before starting a new thread or posting a HiJackThis log

Please report back after using the Spyware/Malware removal tools mentioned there.

Cheers
