What is delphi and why is it killing my computer?

[Tom]

I have been running xp since it came out with few problems.
Today I received the error message any time I clicked on
anything in the start menu and with most of the items on my
task bar. It reads: "This module was compiled to a trial
version of Delphi. The trial period has expired." In
safemode I ran search and there are no "delphi" files on my
computer. Everytime that I click on an icon my computer
freezes up.

It appears to be a new problem with no definitive cause or solution.

Yesterday, a couple of users in the xp.general group had this problem. Both
reported that running AdAware solved the problem. One of them also
mentioned something about "Grokster" being the source of spyware that
caused the error.
