This sounds very much like a virus or malware. Reboot in Safe
Mode, then delete everything in the WinNT\Temp folder.

Not all anti-virus scanners catch everything. I recommend also using
AVAST! and Kasparsky to scan, and if anything is found that they cannot
remove, look to symantec and mcaffee for removal tools. If all else
fails, format and reinstall the operating system.

Also, get the critical security updates from ms, run a hardware
firewall, turn off all java, java script, activex, flash, etc, etc, etc,
NEVER use IE or any MS mail or news client, and daily curse the name of
billgates [curses cencored].

Quaestor,

I am sure that its running on startup plus, the process is running when you try
to delete it

CTRL + SHIFT + ESC to bring up Task Manager
Processes tab
End the process

Now delete the file from the TEMP folder

Next:

Click START | PROGRAMS | STARTUP
Is there a link to the file there? If so, delete it

Next:

START | RUN | Type 'regedit' (without quotes) & press ENTER
Naviage to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Highlight the RUN key in the left pane. Is there a shortcut to the that file in
the TEMP folder? If so, right-click the entry in the right pane & delete it

Close the registry editor & reboot when ready
