first off make sure you boot into safe mode when you try to delete the .exe
e\microsof t\windows\ currentver sion\run folder and see if killer.exe is trying to load from there, if it is delete the key (backup your registry before you make any changes)
then check your registry to make sure it's not loading up when you boot
run regedit and check the hkey_local_machine\softwar
also check your startup programs from start button, start - programs - startup
once you've managed to stop it from loading, you can boot up normally, install AV software to fully remove it
