iTunes

[Guest]

There is a file in C:\documents and settings\all users\start
menu\programs\startup named gjzp.exe. This file prevents iTunes and
Quicktime from loading. It can not be seen or accessed from explorer. From
a command prompt I can delete it. When I start my computer from MSCONFIG
with selective startup and this not loaded, everything works fine. After a
normal restart the file reappears. Does anyone know what program creates it?

Whenever you have a "what is this file for" question, just look it up with an internet search engine.

When the major internet search engines turn up no results, as they do in this case, you can presume that the file in question is part of a virus or, more likely, spyware.

This may be true, however, I have run Microsoft AntiSpyware, Ewido, and
Macafee. None see it as a problem. I will keep deleting it, but I need to
find the culprit.

Go here http://www.sysinternals.com/ProcessesAndThreadsUtilities.html
and download Process Explorer. Find out what files, registry keys
and other objects processes have open, which DLLs they have loaded,
and more. This uniquely powerful utility will even show you who owns
each process.

This can help ferret out the cause.
