Couple strange things picked up

Unless Google is helpful, and really not even then, you can't tell the file
by the name.

One approach which I've used with some success is to browse such things up
to:

www.virustotal.com
or
http://virusscan.jotti.org

These are virus scanners, but a few of the included scanners also go for
spyware, and much spyware are really trojans anyway, so are caught by the
virus scanners.
 
Nothing on google unfortunately. Symantec came up scratch
too. Thanks for your help!! I will give your
recomendation a check.
 
Rule of thumb: If no hits on google and you didn't put it
there then get rid of it. A lot of spyware is what they
call polymorphic meaning it changes its name randomly. If
you want to be sure then check the properties and see if
it has a version number and makers name. If nobody takes
credit for it then it's trash.

If there is nothing listed on Google or Processlibrary.com then these are
most likely trojans riunning with random names to avoid name based scanners.
Go to the process list in your task manager and try to end one of these
processes. If it pops right back into the list, you will need to go find it
and delete it from your computer and registry.
