some info suggesting that this particular file might be a temporary created by McAfee Anti-virus:
Quote:
I asked McAfee Anti-virus "How to get rid of WebPoolFileFile" Their answer is as follows:
CAUSE: This file is part of the ActiveX and Java scanner in VShield for VirusScan 4.0.0 and above.
FIX: There is no need to delete this file because it is a temporary file for VShield's internet scanning. The file will disappear if you exit VShield but cannot be deleted because it is in use by VShield.
Hope this helps.

As this is second hand information from a discussion forum it is hard to say whether it is reliable. Anyway, the unexpected EXEs popping up on your machine are more worrying.
