Well I checked for updates to my AV software (none), ran Housecall and
downloaded, installed and ran SpyBot S&D and none picked up the file. So I've
just moved it for the time being and rebooted. Everything seems to be ok
without the process running so I'll remove the registry entries eventually.

Thanks anyway
