This program has many versions. Many of the repairs on the net will
not work. This one may not work for you.
The version I encountered had disabled taskmanager (perhaps even deleted
it) and disallowed most exe files from executing so it was not possible
to install any AV programs in the usual manner.
removal:
Download mbam at http://www.malwarebytes.org/,
rename exe file to com file. Install. It may hang, or not install at all.
Download the following file and save to your desktop.
http://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe
Again, rename this to a .com and install.

The third step you you should consider is a personal firewall.
There are many available, can't say which is best but the one I currently
use is Kerio Personal Firewall
