Ive got this program sitting in my C:/ drive and it won't go away. Live OneCare has blocked it from the internet but i just want to get rid of it to keep a clean system. Can anyone help me?

prunnex.exe is malware. Download and install Malware/Trojan scanner http://www.malwarebytes.org/

After installation, update it, and run a scan, it should find the file and remove it. Post back here and let us know how you are doing...

Good luck!

Thanks!
I ran the scan but it wan't able to delete the mshelp.exe....

It seems that it found and removed the file in many locations on your pc. It also looks as if you should be ok, regarding this specific file now, after you rebooted. After reboot you may run malware bites again just to make sure. Let us know if you are back to normal now?
