I have ran hijack this, I removed it from there. I have deleted it from my hdd. I have ran ad aware and spybot (also tea timer) and removed any association with it.

HOWEVER I still have this come up every 5 minutes or so!

I used process explorer but the location is not found in windows. I tried using the command prompt to delete, but can't do that as well.

Anyone know how to get rid of it ?

I dont know right out of hand. I would try dependency walker here and fire the .exe into it and see what you get

ok ..

what virus scans have you used ?
do you enable beta downloads in spybot ?

what do you come up with when you do a computer search of the file name ?

I use symantec 9.0.3
scan engine 61.3.0
updated definition

scan of computer finds nothing wrong.

I can see the program in process explorer, but not in ctrl + alt + del

i did not enable beta downloads in spybot, will try now.

i cannot find that file name when searching my computer.

Go to Run and type in MSconfig and see if its still in there. Don't know how to remove it but I would like to know if its still in your start up.

nope its not in my startup, however i solved one problem, but another one still exists.

I booted in safe mode. Did a system search and looked for all the files that was created on the day before I got the virus. Deleted all the files since that date.

Now the exe don't load anymore but I still get ad pop ups...
