In temp files, an .exe appearing every minute, is it a virus?

This should sort things for you.

• Download Fixlist.txt and save to the folder FRST64.exe is in
  
• Run FRST64 and click on "Fix" - the PC will reboot to complete the fix
  

Please upload Fixlog.txt and let me know if the exe temp file issue is resolved.
