It's not a virus or trojan. It happens when you use Remote Assistance
via MSN messenger. I had this happen on my home machine and after some
research and experimentation I noticed the ICF entries were being
created on the client machine and not the host machine. Try it; have a
friend ask you for "Remote Assistance" via MSN messenger (you will be
the client and your friend the host), then "Take Control" of his or
her machine and you will notice the entries will be created on your
ICF settings.
