Hi and welcome to the forums. Download, install, update and run www.Malwarebytes.org ( the FREE version ). That thing is apparently a Trojan and malwarebytes should take care of it.

From what I read here: http://www.seasonsec...ware-76092.html It would seen that it can be removed by way of Programs & Features ( Add / Remove programs in XP ). If so, that would be the first one I've seen that could be removed that way.

I HIGHLY doubt that the shortcut will work. Chances are that it'll just show up again as soon as you reboot (so you think you removed it, but you didn't). I've never heard of that .info site either, coastie. Sadly, I can't find anything on this from a reputable site. I'd try Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Super Antispyware (in that order).
