It could be one of these two, do a virus scan first:

Panda ActiveScan-VirusCheck

w32.rusty

RapiudBlaster


If you have trouble deleting files use:
TheKillBox

ITS A VIRUS!!!!

I have had the exact same virus.. I think it is called TROJ_WINPUP.B(not sure about spelling) or goes by the common alias of Downloader.Revop.A

Do not let it connect to the internet!!!

I had AVG and later Pc-cillin remove the virus

Go here for an link that will go though how me and some others faced the exact same problem as you did:
