Hi Darren,

Usually a symptom of infection by a virus, possibly Klez or Yaha, but there
are others that cause this issue. Suggest you update your AV software, then
restart in Safe mode and run a full system scan. Free virus removal tools:

Also, you may use this free on-line scanner:

Symantec also distributes many free removal tools that are virus-specific:

Most will resist removal in normal mode where they are active.

Thank you all for you help,

I am running XP SP2,
Windows One care,
Windows Defender
Adaware (professional)

Onecare detects a virus, but as always it is unable to clean the file.

I believe it to be a virus now, but unable to find a way of getting rid
of it.

Rick Nutcase Rogers suggested it could be one of two virus's, are they
any direct ways of deleting it?

Thanks all.
