My computer has been running slowly for the past week. I
defragged, total disc scanned, virus updated, to no
avail. A friend suggested adaware, which I did and found
a dozen or so "spies" which were quarantined. I then (I
hope this was not a bad idea) purchased spyassasin by
downloading it and ran that and found another dozen or so
bad guys.

But now my computer is running slower than ever! I
checked the taskmanager and I have a file called
6UEY4.exe running at 60-80% cpu all the time.

What do I do now??? What is this file???
