no im not randomly restarting. but i solved the problem its ok thanks.
i found some other *.exe in my Z:\XP temp folder and got rid of them also (im thinking spyware/virus that zonealarm, adaware and spybot didnt pick up).
anyway its all good, i deleted it to my recycle bin, restarted, saw it didnt complain and got rid of it out my recycle bin so is all good now.
and i have a feeling all this was because it is the first time i have used IE in a long time. i was trying to get some stuff from the microsoft website and it wanted me to use IE. so i did and then forgot to use my other browser and thats how i think i got infected.
