Scan your PC with Adware, Spyware, Registry Mechanic etc, del all infections.
SpyBot (free) Adaware free,
Also its an exe folder, just waiting to be opened, don't.
Go to start, Search-type in pictures.exe, del the offending folder. All else fails can go into registry and del it, a last choice though, if you don't know what u r doing.

Yes, and that's definitely a virus. It will stay in your PC and eat up space.
Try scanning and deleting it with an anti-virus software.

Maybe its a important file? (doubt it cuz i never herd of it)
Try going into safe mode and deleting it from there.
Or running a virus/ad-ware scan on the darn thing.
