I downloaded (or thought I downloaded) a torrent file, and this was included with the package. I donot know how to remove this file from my computer, as I have checked my control panel > uninstall program. Any ideas?

@Michael: I don't know what pricemeterw.exe is either but it looks suspicious. Do you remember what torrent you downloaded and from which torrent site? If you do, please let me know and I'll have a look at it.

If you like, you can use FreeFixer to delete pricemeterw.exe. It should appear under the "Processes" in the scan result.
