I came across this file as "wyeke151.exe" and then found the folder in the c:\program files\"Wyeke".

My search found Norton has cliasified this as a SPYWARE/ADWARE and known as "OneStep".

Adware.OneStep is a security risk that installs itself as a browser search plug-in: http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?name=wyeke.com

Good luck.
