I have a slightly different version of this.
It was located in 'C:\Windows\system32\' as reported BUT...
File Name: xwr82678.dll
File size: 225,280
Md5sum : 27ae49e3abd1295493492c909d84f206 *xwr82678.dll
When you look at the properties it says the original file name is: xml2w32.dll and that it is from microsoft.
A scan at virustotal can be found here:

Only ONE of the AV software vendors tagged it as anything:
Microsoft 1.5302 2009.12.17 Trojan:Win32/Chepdu.R
I had seen another post where some version of aquared tagged this but the one at virustotal did not:
a-squared 4.5.0.43 2009.12.17
What I did notice was that this was listed as a BHO for Internet Explorer (Using HiJackThis).
And when I came home I had 37 instances of I.E. running with one of them streaming a song.
This file is NOT legit and since removing it, some of the weirdness I was having seems to be gone.
I don't see anything more unusual and no unusual ports are open when I check.
My question is - why aren't any of the other AV software picking this up????
