When i run my virus scanner i keep getting this file coming up but i cannot be deleted by the program and was wondering if this file is meant to be there, it is in the WINDOWS/system32 folder and is labelled mac80ex.idf

Try running it from safe mode. Of manually deleting it form there.

It's not a virus it's adware. Use a tool like AdAware or microsofts Anti-Spyware Beta to clean it in the safest possible way if you are scared to delete it manually. (not sure if it effects anything myself. I've never gotten this one) I think it has something to do with Bargain Buddy adware.

Speaking of MS spyware cleaner. I installed it, but don't see a way to start the thing. What up with that?

are you sure you installed the Anti-spyware or did you install the Malicious software removal tool through windows update? The later one downloads every week or so and runs once on download. The actual Anti-spyware beta sets in your system tray all the time with active shields running and has an interface much like other spyware tools.

Here is the link to the one I'm talking about.
