James I asked:
Has anyone ever heard of and/or experienced it on your computer? I’ve quarantined it numerous times after detection by malware programs. I have even deleted it from my “processes” list. It always eventually returns. Anyone have the “scoop” on this?

Try scanning from safe mode. Reboot and tap F8 during startup. Select safe mode from the menu.
Also, try this if you have not:
Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware (Free, don’t register it)
