I'm running Win XP SP2. On a regular basis the system runs at 100%. I've been able to identify a Process called Sect Up Free.EXE which often runs in multiple copies. Each of them deviding 100% of the CPU. I'm able to end the processes and then everything goes back to normal until the next time.

I've tried to identify where this program resides, but I can't find any program on my hard disk with that name or anything that resembles it. I've done some searches on the web and in forums and I can't find anything about this.

Please help.
