Windows Registry

[Blaker1-9]

Every time I boot up my computer, my Firewall opens up asking me to block an .exe file. Each time the .exe file has a different name, and it is always fron c:\documents and settings\local settings\temp. I permanently block it each time, but it just keeps
changing names, and despite deleting the entire temp folder, it keeps comming back. I think something is embedded in my windows registry. What can I do??? Do I have to re-format??

Run a full virus scan or perhaps it could be spyware related
