Virus/worm/malware programs often create files with random names to make
them harder to detect. If a Search of Google turns up nothing that is
probably the case. Try scanning your computer for both viruses and
parasites. Be sure to use the latest definitions for each product downloaded
from the vendors website. AdAware is a good free product for parasite
detection and removal. If either type of program identifies an infection,
then you can search Google for that name for further instructions on how to
remove the infection if the antivirus or parasite removol program can not do
it themselves which may require a specialized tool. --- Steve
