I have a stupid piece of software I'm convinced is spyware but I cannot
determine what it is. If anyone can help me identify this I'd appreciate it.

Basically, there is a garbage-named executable in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32. Right
now, it's named lkkfdks.exe. Whenever I try to kill it from Task Manager,
after I issue End Process and when the process actually goes away, it makes
a copy of itself and launches the copy. So, for example, I will kill
lkkfdks.exe and now it becomes durkkq.exe. I've tried to boot Windows XP
Home in Diagnostic Startup, but somehow it is still launching itself. I even
stripped the write privledges for everyone from the registry folder
LM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, such that there are no
entries I can find in any of the obvious startup places. This part has me a
little baffled-- not sure how it's starting itself up.

So, I cannot delete the executable and I'm at a bit of a loss. Occasionally
it will pop up a stupid box asking me about downloading an html file from
abetterinternet.com. I find this hilarious, because I went to their website
and they offer a second piece of software you can supposedly download to
remove the junk (which I'm guessing they installed in the first place
somehow). I think I'll pass on that offer...

Any advice of a technical/non-technical you can provide me I'd appreciate
it.
