It's a commercial parasite called Memory Meter. See:

I got the stcloader.exe implanted in my computer when i visited a
couple of music sites. It was like a storm of pop-ups even when i was
no longer on the website. I had to delete all the stc related files.
It also seemed to create a folder called prefetch in C:\Windows and
dumps a lot of files there. i deleted all the files manually.

Ad-aware's latest update captures it though.
