This thing is a PAIN but I finally managed to delete it. What I did was this: Go to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\".. here I found a weird folder name called "up hold blue delete" or something like that. I deleted that and the problem was solved =)

Well, it is a Virus or Trojan. At the moment, I can't access my PC because of it. My Anti Virus software wanted to delete it after the PC was restarted, but then I didn't have a taskbar anymore and no desktop icons.

It runs itself randomly even when not connected to the internet, infected and riddled with advert popup and a major amount of annoying mem useage causing the computer just to stop almost, have to end its procress.
