Adware or Virus help

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\etfmon.exe.tmp

I've been trying to deleted the above for several days. I've run several scans with McAfee and after the scan it says to "rescan after restart". I've tried that and it just repeats "rescan after restart".

I've also tried AdAware programs but nothing seems to work.

It's slowing down my computer, allowing some pop ups, and effecting my bookmarks that I use the most. Takes forever to open a web page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
