I doubt the windows update will be the source of the problem as they are normally secure when downloaded off the Microsoft site. It will most likely be a piece of spyware/adaware. It is useless deleting the actual files as in many cases they are just brought back.

If you do the steps described in the above post it will be removed but it is tricky.

Highly recommended spyware and adaware products. (FREE)

Run the above and it may remove it and any others that are undoubtedly on you're computer.

Also a program that prevents them going on to you're computer which you do not have to run unless to update every so often.

I virus checker alone will not stop or get rid of the above problems in most cases so I'd advise you to install the above, which will stop you getting infected 99% of the time.
