Disconnect TOTALLY from the internet, which is what you're not doing if you're reading this post . After that, run your computer in safe mode. Delete the weird file in your computer, then run the basic spyware/adware and anti-virus software on your computer to see if any more anamolies might be present. I'm not completely sure, but you might be getting that windows update message because you're running a pirated version of windows xp. lol, if you are, then you're kind of screwed because I don't know another way to install it.

If things are really bitchy, save all your files then run a system restore to an early date. You might need to re-install some of your programs, but it's worth the work if you want to keep your comp in peak condition.

Last thing: DITCH KAZAA! Stop downloading illegally! It warrants more problems, like viruses, spyware, and random subpeonas from the RIAA (spelling?).

Later dude...
