Have you tried an antivirus program?
There are some good free ones available. I recommend Anti-Vir:
which I use myself. If that doesn't work, you could try other antivirus and
anti-adware programs. I'm not sure what else to suggest.
I'm guessing that there is some other program somewhere that creates
"vsihoyguy5.exe" every time it runs, and then runs "vsihoyguy5.exe", which
itself somehow hides the file while it runs (spawn a process then delete the
original process and its EXE file?). Maybe a contents (text) search of your
computer for "vsihoyguy" would turn up the real culprit? Best of luck.
