Not in this case.

Safely removed; though there is no a warning on start-up that it cannot
be found; I tried searching for it in the registry, and deleted (after
backing up!) the only entry which mentioned it by name, something to do
with Winload; but after a restart the message came up again, and the
registry entry returned. Have I omitted to do something to remove it, or
is it coming back from the, er backup? What do I do now?

After removing the file, Norton reported the machine as clean; I then
installed Sweep, which found three occurrences of it, in files called
BAbypaul.bmp, but which Explorer said to b executables. Trying to delete
these crashed explorer, but I finally deleted them from DOS.
