I was just looking at the Services list in XP Home, and found an interesting entry named GDWBAMDZVX.

I have attached a HijackThis log, just in case somebody wants to see what is running.

Note: SIDEBAR.exe is Windows Sidebar. I scanned this with AVG, and it was clean. And even though I am running XP, I managed to install it, so don't worry about this process.Your log is clean...
