I found a fix. Not sure which program fixed it. This is what I did.

Disk cleanup

Browsed add remove programs for something that should not be there (nothing)

Ran CW shredder (nothing)

Ran Ad Aware (33 problems)

Ran Spybot Search and Destroy (nothing)

Ran Trend Micro Housecall (HTTP cookies)

Ran AVG. (clear)

Whatever it was, it seems to be gone now. AVG runs every morning. I will see tomorrow morning if the thing copied itself again or not.
Is there any way of immunizing against such threats?
Thanks for all of your help.
