Mysterious start-up entries...

I am trying to research two entries that I suspect may either be trojans or
adware/malware, but scans with both S&D and AVG have returned nothing - and,
yes, both are updated. I searched Google (Web and Groups) and came up blank.
Does anyone know what the following are - I have searched the folders they
are supposed to be residing in, and they don't appear to exist (and, no,
they're not hidden).

HK_LM:Run, 13752382.exe file: C:\WINDOWS\System32\13752382.exe

and

Located: HK_LM:Run, DKQXBHOU file: C:\WINDOWS\DKQXBHOU.exe

Anyone any idea? As they're both just (seemingly) nonsensical collections of
random letters/digits I strongly suspect they shouldn't be there - but what
do I know?

Can anyone tell me what they are and, more pertinently, how to remove them
if they are nasties?
 
Your AV program probably already has. They don't tend to fix changes viruses make just delete the virus. You AV program's log file should shed some light on it.

Bastet,

If S&D returned no clues, but you're still concerned, try HijackThis,
which examines your system in a different way. Complete instructions
