its a trojan hun you need a trojan remover
found this

I have just removed this trojan from my computer using AVG free edition using the steps below.
Step 1 - Turn off System Restore - Control Panel, System, System restore tab, then check "Turn of system Resotre"

Step 2 - Restart computer in "Safe Mode" - Start, Run, type "msconfig", then OK, clik tab marked "BOOT.INI", then check /SAFEBOOT, then OK, then Restart.

Step 3 - while in safe mode, scan your entire computer with your updated antivirus software and remove infected files. My copy of Norton was out of date. I found a good, free antivirus called AVG Free Edition. It can be downloaded at:

link [free.grisoft.com]

Step 4 - Repeat step 2, but this time un-check /SAFEBOOT and restart. After restart, turn system restore back on.

Hope it helps!

ghosting your hd after a fresh os install is recommended.
The day you are in trouble, you just need to ghost, and voila.
