I found this file in my computer and like you, I can't figure out how it got there.
It was added to C:\program files\ornum

This was added sat. 8-11-02

Aornum is a program installed by iwon's prize machine. By allowing iwon to install the new prize machine 3 stuff, it also installs aornum. Whatever it does seems very underhanded because not only can you not remove it from your processes but when you attempt to disable it from system startups or delete it, the running aornum process puts it back in. And its doing something fishy also, attempting to connect to someplace on the internet presumably to transfer information about your computer or your surfing habits..who knows.

very sneaky of iwon to do such a thing but anyway..

To remove Aornum, restart computer, get into safe mode preferably with a command prompt.
cd into Program Files, Ornum, Aornum, 1.bin
del Aornum.exe
restart windows
remove from startup items, boycott iwon

I found AORNUM on my disk, too. iWon Prize Machine 3 also installs a file called TENSOFT. I couln't figure out where it came from, so I sent Google to go find it. It turns out that there is a company called Tensoft, so I e-mailed them and asked what this program did and why I needed it. They responded within an hour, saying the've had hundreds of angry e-mails complaining about this file, but that it came from iWon. Tensoft's attorney even wrote to iWon demanding they cease using their registered trademark. So far, no response...
I agree with Ben; boycott iWon.com. I've never won anything on that site anyway, and I don't know anyone who has.
