Find and nuke that program. It is concealing itself from your spyware
scanners while it is loaded, most likely, so use Safe Mode to kill it, just
to be sure it isn't running. I have had to kill similar infections before.
This is a bug that uses randomly generated file names as an extra way to
dodge the scanners, not just in how it can interfere with the scanners while
it is running.
