Hey...
Winfile is the program name for File Manager in Windows 3.x and Windows 95, so if you use a newer Windows version it is most likely some sort of malware.
For Winme I´ve found different stuff, could be a driver for a USB device, or for a analogue modem (mitsubishi). If you don´t use or never have installed such devices it´s most likely malware too.
If you don´t have done it already do full system scans with your antivirus program, then with Spybot and Ad-Aware.
Afterwards (or if nothing is found) you can check the services and applications which startup together with the system by start>run>msconfig
Then check for registry entries with RegCleaner (available in the useful programs download section here) and delete all entries you don´t need any more.
Then go to the prefetch-folder (C:\Windows\prefetch) and delete everything in it (you should do this regularly).
After a restart you should optimize your system with
Bootvis.

Well, after that your system should startup much quicker and should be clean from malware.....
If not let me know.

cool info dude, looks like tht u made lot of research, nice

Well, I have to admit I just looked for the links...
I do the whole procedure regularly on my boxes, prevents them from slowing down....

elo , very cool info indeed , im at a frds place...will read throughly whn i get bak , i do have a usb driver , ill so the stuff u told me too ...it wil be relly good if u could tell me the names of good anti-viruses , ad-aware n spybots which i can download for free. thanks agan man.

Just click on the names of Ad-Aware and Spybot in my post above to dl both programs, they´re completely free.
I´m using Panada Antivirus for a 2 weeks now, seems to be ok, you can get a evaluative version here: http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/
Good update policy and it don´t slows down the system as much as Norton Antivirus, Antivir or Kapersky....

On a side note...
I would suggest a proggie caled MemTurbo. It activly displays PC usage when selected and it recovers a target amount of RAM regularly as you schedule it.(The target amount of RAm is also set by you.)

A neat program if you ask me .
