How do you get rid of this rubbish - phpdev5

It doesnt come up in the control panel add/remove programs and when i try and delete it off my c drive it says program in use, when i go control alt delete its not even running???

Ive even run msconfig/startup and stopped it from there, rebooted and it still wont remove!!!

I reacon i could format the stupid computer and it would be still there

SOME ONE PLEASE HELP

LOL!
It looks like a virus deciding on how you described it.
Normally only system files/processes don't allow deleting themselves.
What's that phpdev5 stands for anyway? I don't think it's a system process, so there is a high chance it's a virus. Have you tried logging in SAFE MODE? When Windows loading continuously press F8

LOL! If you know how to use msconfig, then you know about F8.

phpdev5 is a program you use for serverside coding. Ive managed to get rid of it with out going into safe mode. downloaded this program called cwshredder (brilliant by the way) and it did the job. I was told about that msconfig by a lovely lady from Dell support lol.
