Hi everyone, I have googled my problem but cant find everything, so am i the first one?
there is a task constantly running on my processes, called tkew00.exe.
There are plenty of them running, when I try and kill one, the list of them running multiplies
all the time and my CPU is flat out (100%).
when i do a search for tkew00* windows finds a file called tkew00.exe-235798.pf in a folder called
c:\windows\prefetch.
When i do an <explore from here> to this file , it takes me to a folder that lots of the above files
with different numbers exist. I delete them, but the problem persists. Any ideas?

Hi again, its now getting worse, and i dont know if what is happening now is related or not...
Basically I now have a flashing banner on my desktop, saying "WARNING - COMPUTER INFECTED etc".
To make matters worse, The button for browsing the files for choosing a wallpaper is greyed out
AND the internet explorer load my homepage ok, but when I try to navigate to any other web page it shows me the
usual not connected windows message (but I know its connected because it does bring up my home page?
Are all these related?
