RE: Urgent help!!
tbh that doesn't look as spyware or any type of malware (though looks can be deseaved, but in fact, it is very rare. If spyware is installed on your PC it most likely is not a program you can actually use but something which tries to be as invisible as possible).

It more looks like a (crappy) program to keep track of something (eg: how many times you've done something, eg: rebooting or whatever). Hence why it also would be "in use".

The program is also written with Unicode in mind, but seeing the output of it (all the question marks and some ascii characters) it has not been well written. (and I wouldn't be surprised if it was written in VB btw, seeing as those question marks is a typical look of how a bad programmed (incompatible) unicode code program in VB will look like)...

------------

The above is assuming the screenshot of the program screen is a screenshot from when you run the program...

On the other hand, if it is a screenshot from when you clicked on "change/remove" in your add remove programs control panel, then it looks like a validation screen of some sort (eg: like the Plus! sponsor validation screen when uninstalling). But again, for the unicode part, that would be the same explanation as above...
