Malicious Application on desktop

Recently, when I started my laptop there was an shortcut on desktop named "Your Game.exe". I thought some app may created it and remove it. But again after I restarted the system next day it came back. I tried many ways to remove it. Biu it's coming back and back again.
Is it is a virus or some othere malicious program. How I remove it.
Plz Help!!!

Its a Virus For sure.
Use malware bytes, microsoft security essential or avast antivirus to get rid of it or just any other decent AV which you think suitable.

It is a virus for sure. Have got updated antivirus installed?

yep
I am using avast! free antivirus. Do I try some other one as it says that the file is clean

^Yes, try ESET/Kaspersky.

Also, submit the suspected file here. Request to Kaspersky Virus Lab

@Rishab2oo, try Emsisoft Anti-Malware 6.0 if other antivirus failed to disinfect your PC. but Emsisoft needs latest service pack else installation will fail.

@ OP - don't panic - it's not a virus or malicious app - it just comes with Angry Bird or with some other game - here's how to fix this ;-)

I had installed Angry Birds from a digit DVD. I didn't thought that it is creating that file. Mostly I play Angry Birds just after starting my system that's why I thought the file is creating itself.

^^ OK .. but do let us know whether you have fixed the issue or not.
