What is dh-smart-names.rdf & how can I clean it?

I see a file named dh-smart-names.rdf that contains the plain text names of some sites I would like to remove as I have removed them from my History. How do I do this? I can edit it with Notepad if necessary.

The file re-creates itself each time I open Ffox, even if I don't visit those sites because they are not in my History, so deleting it when Ffox is closed is not going to work.

Is a virus/Trojan/etc at work? If so Norton and Pareto don't see it.

This file is from the Video Download Helper addon.

I believe this file is used for the "Smart Naming" feature of that addon.
