I suspect that it put an entry into your shell configuration file, which would
be /home/user/.bashrc if you're using bash, and (I think) /home/user/.login in
you're using tcsh. Try editing those files, or whatever your system uses in
their place.
Also, it may have added itself into the "primal" version of such file
/etc/skel/.bashrc, or into the etc/zlogin file. I would suggest having a look
at both of those as well.

It has long been known that birds will occasionally build nests in the
manes of horses. The only known solution to this problem is to sprinkle
baker's yeast in the mane, for, as we all know, yeast is yeast and nest
is nest, and never the mane shall tweet.
