Weird file/process on my Task manager...

[Katrina]

Hi there...does anyone know what this file is:
jasthbht.exe -- it popped up in my task mgr. process
window today and it resides in the WINNT/System32 folder
it also shows up in my RegEditor under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Microsoft/Windows/Run/ytthsjwxwdvl.
I've searched for it online; at symantec and mcaffee and
microsoft, but to no avail... Any insight on this strange
file? Thanks in advance...Katrina

Sounds dodgy - Nuke it!!!

If it's in Run it's safe to delete it. Looks like spyware to me. Delete
the value and look at where the value points. I'd also download adaware and
run it on your PC.
