Out of curiosity what virus scanner were you using
Just in case I'm using the same one lol.
I was using Microsoft Security Essentials.
Ah thanks for clarifying, that I have as a default, I run it in conjunction with a full suite of other malware preventing stuff though.
At least it isn't Norton or McAfee but guess it was just as bad as it got through and executed on the main system
Would try Sandboxie if you ever run into another of those files again and want to tinker around with it.
Trap it inside a certain box of memory.

Description:
"Let's admit it: sometimes, even though we know it's wrong, we all open the occasional sketchy program or file. We're not judging, but if you're going to do it, at least use protection. Enter Sandboxie, which lets you run programs independent of the rest of your system. That way they can't infect, access, or otherwise interfere with your Windows installation. It's also great for testing apps you aren't sure of or running multiple instances of an app that won't let you, so it's fun for the whole family."
