Pop-ups/weird extecutables [solved]

My girlfriend keeps getting a bunch of pop-ups on her desktop, with IE opening up (she uses firefox).
After taking a quick look through her processes, I found one titled vx7W1uAL.exe that I was sure I'd never seen before. I pumped that into they system search, and the exe file itself popped up in the system32 folder.
Is anyone familiar with this executable? Google yielded nothing in terms of information, so I'm wondering if I should remove it (the pop-ups seem to stop when the process is stopped, but it reloads itself after a while).

I got her to run it last night, but it looks like she forgot to do the update. It's all been removed, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to delete something that was important.
There were over 475 "infections" listed.
