Amy time you google the name of a file on your computer, and Google
gets no hits on it, it's almost guaranteed to be a random name created
by malware. It's a good bet that you are infected.

It could also be a remanent after some anti-spyware or anti-virus program
tried to get rid of the infestation.

Yes, tried and succeeded. Change my sentence from "It's a good bet
that you are infected" to "It's a good bet that you are or were
infected."

Would help if you mentioned where you found this file. Malware usually
uses a randomized name, and HTGD0007 isn't really random characters. It
may be a temp file created by a legitimate installer.
