Hello ginnpr,
trying to do a download - but would not complete
if you did run the tool then the download must have completed?
Anyway - please post the log - which contains the details of the detection - here (it's in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sophos\Sophos Virus Removal Tool\Logs\SophosVirusRemovalTool.log).

Hello ginnpr,
cannot locate the Application Data
it's a hidden folder. In Explorer's menu bar select Tools -> Folder options ... tab View, pane Advanced settings: a little bit down there's Hidden files and folders with two radio buttons. Select - naturally - Show hidden files and folders.

Hello ginnpr,
not IE but Explorer, the program that opens My Computer, My Documents and so on - guess you used it when you first searched for the logs. Another option is clicking Start->Run (or entering Windows Logo+R) and paste the path (including the double quotes) "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sophos\Sophos Virus Removal Tool\Logs\" into the dialog box.

Hello ginnpr,
the log doesn't seem to be complete as it should at least contain a time-stamped line saying Scan completed (preceded by the details of the detections if applicable). So there should be at least something about the file you've mentioned in it.
