Run your computer in safe mode and locate the C/Users/yourname/appdata and look in that folder for a randomly named folder with a bunch of numbers and then open it and you should see the .exe file that is also named with a bunch of random number. The easy way to do this is to take out the hard drive, put in another computer, then search for the exe from the other computer since WIndows wouldnt be running from the drive. This also makes it easy if the exe wants to run even in safe mode.
