[pchelpers] Re: bad malware or whatever

You can probably identify and disable the offending file by downloading 
Autoruns.exe which is a very good start up manager.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

Install and run it, and look up on google the programs which you find 
running. The bad one should be named with random characters most times, 
but not always.

Once you disable it in Autoruns, find the file on your drives and delete 
it while it's not running.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
