Go to Start, Run, and type in msconfig and press O.K.
In the start up tab, look for any suspicious entries and uncheck them.
If you are unsure, post back with what they are.
Also, what was the name of the *.exe file?

It's a back door trojan and it's probably still there.
Did you just uncheck from startup in Msconfig?
