Project 1, what is it & can it be removed?

hiya.
i have a gateway laptop, & windows xp.
the laptop is about 9 months old.
every so often, maybe twice/month
everything locks up & when i look in task manager it says "Project 1"
is running, & sucking up all the memory.
i've searched and searched the web but i can't find a virus called project 1.
i've also "searched" my laptop & cannot find any file or program named project 1.
when i find it listed on task manager & close it it closes easily enough & everything returns to normal.
i also have to be online it seems for it to occur.
anyone else ever get this?

i had a hijaking trojan about 2 months ago that i removed w/ cw shredder if that maybe has something to do with this.

thanks a bunch ]:+)
