Question "freeprodtb.exe" <How do I remove this?

Recently I obtained an icon on my desktop named "freeprotb.exe". I believe it is the cause for generating a series of internet pages that pop-up every few minutes. The pages contain advertisments to remove "freeprodtb.exe" and they come with a price. Sounds like a hoax.

I cant simply delete or remove this virus, I ran Mcafee and Ad-ware programs which didnt help either. "freeprodtb.exe" is not imbedded in my start-up applications and is not found in the task manager processes. I just want it off, its effecting my job.

If anyone knows of free software to remove "freeprodtb.exe" off my desktop, or if you would know how to remove it in any other fashion I would appreciate, thanks.

There will come a day, such a day when all will be told more than they wish to know, what one hears may explain the past, it may explain the future, but it has never made a difference either way and it will change nothing. Some day.... But that is not this day, and I don't know when, I just don't know.
