Have you tried this?

1. Boot into Safe Mode.
2. Disable System Restore
3. Delete the offending file(s) from the \windows\system32 folder
4. Run REGEDIT, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Remove all references to wintems.exe from right-hand window.
5. Close REGEDIT
6. Reboot.

Was going ot say that if you know when you got it you might be able to do a system restore to before that date.
Then disable system restore, which will wipe out all your restore points. Including that file.

Good to see ya back B@t - will you be online at 7am or so (asking as you would appear to be up early already). If so, fancy a DA session (Bad shift, need my backside kicked for an hour or so)

No worries if not,

Wurzel
