Hello Driver,

Your system has malware !

If you are an experienced Windows user, with moderate to advanced knowledge of how to work in Windows, then, suggest you take a look at this post on a Google archive.

For hard to remove files, get Killbox. This next link is to the zip file at bllepingcomputer.com

Killbox will help to delete the file "on a next reboot" basis.

Even if you do the above, follow up my fully scanning your system using malware & antivirus tools.

Very first thing, disconnect your pc from the internet - to insure no more data goes out, and that this system does not get any more incoming malware.
Disconnect the cable to your modem, if directly connected.
Your next login, when ready, should only be to Safe mode of Windows (tap & repeat tap of F8 function key in order to select Safe mode).

You really need to run antivirus & anti-spyware tools in Safe mode first. And if you need to do any downloads, use another machine that is known to be clean.

Make very sure your system does not have malware.
See <http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware>

Sysclean would be a good first run for virus check. Just be sure sure to also run other spyware / malware checks.

The cleanup sequence I tend to follow is: Coolweb Shredder first, followed by Adaware, SYSCLEAN, and Antivirus check with current updates.
