shelldrv.exe

Has anyone seen this "shelldrv.exe" in C:\Windows\system32 ?

It does not show up as a virus (AVG).

But it's running without showing up in the Task Manager, which is
suspicious.

System was a little slow, and I'd get a popup at login which lasted barely
long enough to read the file name along with some other text.

I could not delete it from Windows, so I went in with Safe Mode to get rid
of it. (I saved a copy.)

When running, it creates a file called "shelldrv" in C:\Windows\system32,
which seems to keep a log of recently run programs. If you delete that file,
it builds a new one.

A search on microsoft.com turned up nothing about "shelldrv.exe". Nor did
Google.

Does anyone have the answer?
