Hello and welcome to Techspot.

ibm0001.exe is part of the spysherriff malware.

Go HERE and follow the instructions.

Thanks for help...but

thanks for the help howard, but i didnt fin any of the files mentioned on the other thread. i tried to follow the instructions, but i didnt find spysheriff or winstall on my hdd, nor did i find the branches it talked about in my regedit.

Do a Google search for ibm0001.exe. You might also want to check your system for the winstall.exe file, as it also seems to be related to the above.

It does seem to be related to a malware infection.
