Send the file to Virus Total for identification. Virus Total will submit
the file to a great number of antivirus vendors and send you a report
for free.

Well, that was fun! Both tests get me:

Error 001

Security Scan and Virus Detection do not work with your operating
system. To run Security Scan and Virus Detection, you must be using
Windows 98/ME, NT 4.0 Workstation/2000 Pro/XP, or Mac OS 8.1 or higher.

I am using 64-bit Vista, so maybe that's key.

dsmerda spewed out this bit, and i'll scatter a few bits myself:

Right click on the file and look at the properties. Should give you some
ideal as to what it's all about.

Wanna get into **** from MickeyMouse? If it is a system file, you can't be
sending it out to anyone. Part of the fun of proprietary software.

Cheers.

Microsoft has a handy web page that lets you search for specific file names
(primarily dlls, but includes a lot of exes) and tells you version numbers
and other info for that file name.
