I found this random file in my program files not two hours ago. I'm pretty sure it's malicious. Ran the HjT scan. Here it is:
Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1
Scan saved at 3:32:09 AM, on 6/24/2006

MSIE: Internet Explorer v5.00 SP2 (5.00.2920.0000)
I've been running online scanners all night, and nothing seems to have picked it up. Should I just remove it using the add/remove program option? Thanks for the help.
Look in your control panels add/remove programs for PuritySCAN By OIN, OuterInfo, OIN or similar , click on it and click remove.
Reboot and delete this folder if found:
C:\Program Files\PurityScan
Select "Delete on Reboot".
Place the following line (complete path) in bold in the "Full Path of File to Delete" box in Killbox:
C:\WINNT\System32\chkdsk.dll Put a mark next to "Delete on Reboot"
Click the red-and-white "Delete File" button. Click "Yes" at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click "No" at the Pending Operations prompt.
If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.

You'll have to rescan with ewido :)
"No action taken" for all -> nothing removed. Make sure that you let ewido remove everything it finds.
In other words, go to scanner -> settings
How to act? -> recommended actions -> select delete
Then re-scan using instructions I already gave you.
Send a fresh HjT log.
