Okay, this nasty little program is bugging the hell out of me. I have to ask, just what is it? Every few hours, when I open my processes list, I've got about thirty of these things. Thus, we know it's replicating. Since I never needed it before and it's not a program that affects anything else that's running, we can also figure out that it's a memory-eater. So it's fully a replicating memory-eater.

Doing a google search on it has returned to matches, not even in languages other than english.

Do any of you know what it is? And how I can get rid of it?

Virus scans, spyware scans. It should die if you use AVG, spyware blaster, Ad Aware SE personnel, SPybot S & D. and U Use firefox right?
cause IE is probably responsible for this problem.

Also Cwshredder and post your hijackthis log after running it.

There's my logfile. I'm pretty sure I've picked out what needs deletion, but I posted it anyway.
