Sxe*.tmp Files

Comment:
When I log on there are some files/processes (Sxe*.tmp) that start up and I think they are mining data somehow. I believe it is a hack. The "*" is random numbers and combinations of 2 letters. Please advise if you have had similar problems or know of the solution. Some have said this could be a trojan virus but norton cannot detect with the latest definitions. Thanks for any help.

Google suggests it's a porn site. And it must be a worm, trojan, virus, or whatever and is probably mining.
