@ wordism
When posting URLs to suspect sites - Please 'modify' the URL change the URL from http to hXXp, to break the link and avoid accidental exposure to suspect sites, thanks.

thanks for the tips guys. I eventually found out that I had a rootkit.
I think everything may be fine now

Yes there is most likely a rootkit involvement, but this one may be more complex as the services.exe may have been modified also.
Personally I would advise following up on the link Pondus gave you.
