There are some valid Windows programs named PC Health. Where did you find the file on your computer?

If the file is in C:\i386 or C:\windows or C:windows\inf or c:\windows\servicePakFile\i386 it is probably okay. There were some viruses related to pchealth, but they are several years old now. I would question the file if it is in any other location--especially in the c:\windows\system32 directory or in a temp directory.

also, find the virus and upload it to virustotal.com

If it is recognized by multiple antiviruses(on V total)

then download killbox and destroy that file on system restart
