I found it running as an application on my firewall and blocked it. I also ran a search in the registry and it was not found. Will look for it under the system files as Monty and others on this site have written.

It's associated with the following processes: salm.exe, bargains.exe, bargain.exe( -Not sure about that one), exdl0.exe, and exdl2.exe. I recommend searching for these files and removing/deleting them from your hard drive, and simultaneously "End Process" to the file and each of it's components to prevent regeneration. I found "exdl1.exe"as well as 0 and 2 in C:\WINXP\system32. That is a common location for viruses and windows files as well, so be careful when deleting things!(Hint: Viruses and such have usually been modified recently, as opsd to windows components, most of which are stagnant.
