Definately sounds like a few trojans. Also, you could possibly be infected with adware/malware/or spyware.

Answer 3

I believe they are trojan downloader or keylogger trying to sent information from your PC to another web site or download a virus from another website.

Unhide the file extension using the folder option.

You can try to rename it as gzchmtcf.bad and izudqxyl.bad so that the program is no longer executable ( cannot run )

Update your anti-virus scanner and do a scan for virus.

If you do not have anti-virus scanner, I would suggest that you get Avast Home Edition version 4. It now protects against spyware, rootkits,

and other forms of nonvirus malicious software. Best of all, it's free for personal use.

Avast is a very effective and free anti-virus program because it can do

a boot time scan in safe mode and it will remove the entire virus on your PC.

Even those viruses that hide inside the system restore folder.  

Windows utilize a restore utility that backs up selected files

automatically to the System volume information /System Restore folder.

This means that an infected file could be stored there as a backup file,

and most anti-virus programs will be unable to delete these files. You

must disable the System Restore Utility to remove the infected files

from the folder if you use another brand of anti-virus. However, you do

not need to do so if you use Avast to do a boot up scan in safe mode.
