Glad to hear you were able to delete the invader. I had the same problem with "x finder" ( sex finder is the listed name). It is a webdialing program that is geared to dialup users. It attaches to your modem and tries to give you "free" access to porn sites by dialing long distance 900 type phone numbers. (which cost many dollars). It is an insidious program that hides itself in a lot of places on your hard drive. It seems obvious that the creators of it don't want you to be able to remove it. I had to do about six searches to finally remove it and STILL have the name on my Systems config startup files. Although at this point it is harmless. I think that it has to be removed through the registy. .........I have also had some experiences with "overpeers" that promise one program but deliver something completely different. Be careful what you download over P2P sites. Check the file size and NEVER download an .exe file. ...I don't agree with the "stealing" insinuations though. I know that some people want to make file sharing synonymous with bank robbery, but it really is just file sharing. It's the same thing as going to the public library and borrowing a book or CD. You are not paying for it there either.
