Kids Winknwu.exe, Winkyxm.exe???????

Does anyone know what these files or for?

winknwu.exe
winkyxm.exe

I am visiting my relatives in Colorado and i am working on my Uncles computer. Both of those files are in the process under Task Manager and each is taking up to 50% of the CPU. Doing a search in the registry has them listed under the search assistant. I have tried some seaches through microsoft knowledge base without much luck.

The computer is a Compaq running windows XP home. The computer needs alot of updates and SP1. But i need to get those two files out of the process first. I have already cleaned of the Blaster worm and i dont know what else is wrong with this thing.

Thank you for any help.

Hard to believe but Google doesn't show anything. I've got a suspicion you're looking at a virus. Are the signatures on your AV updated?

thanks puk, i did not think to look there.

No, there is not AV on this computer. I am going to recommend that my uncle get one ASAP. I have downloaded the tool from symantec to remove Klez, i will let you know if that solves my problems.
