Invasion of processes

[Jaime]

....I got close to 250 open processes of the same kind. It's
name "realevent.exe". The CPU is not busy but doesn't
process them. Does someone know what is thata about and how
to get ride of them?
I have tried norton utilities fixing winxp and several
boots including system restore wich did not work.
Thanks
