Has anyone ran into this and what is the fix?
Thanks Richard
 
It does not get google hits, which is likely to mean it is a problem.

You can scan individual files here:

A fix needs to be done in context of whatever all is running on your system.

You can use hijackthis and look at stuff running, you can find a good tutorial for that at bleepingcomputer's tutorial section.

faq608-4650 gives you good guidelines for system cleanup.
