Mcafee has identifed APNMCP.exe as a virus/trojan. It is located within the Askpartner file which I think is part of mozila. Should I delete it?

My latest McAfee scan says a file named APNMCP.exe is a trojan or virus. It is located within the AskPartnerNetwork file which has Mozilla and Firefox as sub folders. I don't know if the APNMCP.exe is a legitimate part of the software or not? Also, McAfee has been trying to delete the file for the better part of an hour to no avail. Do you have information on this file?

No it is not from Mozilla nor does any version of the desktop Firefox from mozilla.org or www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ or internal updates comes with this.
