squeek !

Try starting your pc in safe mode. ("f8" during boot up I think)
Then try moving it to a new folder.
See if your comp will show any errors when rebooted.
Or if any installed programs fail to run just move it back.

sounds like some worm to me..
my suggestion:

1) kill the task with task manager
2) open regedit
3) check if its sitting somewhere in local_machine/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/Run (or RunServices or RunOnce etc..), if you find it, delete the entry
4) same for current_user/software.....
5) see if you have any other files with the same size and/or date

6) either delete them all or keep them somewhere else, maybe you'll find out what it is later (through adware/virus scan with newer version)
