Can't delete program GEADsBN.exe - what is it?

I am having some difficulties deleting several related 'rogue' programs. They have been placed in folder c:\program files\vptqwpvp and are called: GEADGsBN.exe; GEADGsBN.DLL; NBsGDAEG.exe; cnml.exe and profile.dat.

When I use Taskmaster to stop the process it appears to stop them but they return almost immediately. I deleted all references to them in the Registry that I could find (but obviously missed some), and I have tried to delete them, but am denied permission because they are being used.

What are these files? What damage can they do (they appear to be related to Outlook Express and caused several reboots when I tried to use OE).

How can I get rid of them?

Thanks

Sounds like one of the shedloads of 'backdoor....' viruses. Your AV should have picked it up. If you don't have an up to date one, try the free AVG one (http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/). Most aren't actually dangerous in themselves, but delete your antivirus and expose you that way, add keyloggers, open up backdoors etc

It creates random file names, so it sounds like you have windows system restore turned on which (very usefully) restores viruses if you ever manage to delete them. Seek professional help! from nai or cai etc
