ygollx.exe

Anyone know what this is? My system has been acting strange, with popups coming up at odd times and such. After running "The Cleaner" to check for trojans, and "Spybot S&D" to further check for adware this program - ygollx.exe is the only thing I don't recognize in the task manager. Ending it doesn't work because it just starts up again. It will probably end up being some normal system program that I'm trying to delete, but I thought I'd check with some experts first.
