Is this a virus or something?

[Saltirezz]

So pretty recently a new program has sprung up on my computer. I only new about it because avast stopped the process. I stupidly ignored this but its really annoying me now. Its name is taganekam.exe. I looked it up because why not. No results. Just some african country or something. Anyway, i got it up on my files and I was gonna delete this but instead I checked its code in notepad++. (btw there was two, one with a logo one without) (this is the code by the way) - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

If anyone can help out that would be cool. The code for the other one which is just a program file, is kinda weird. Just some black symbols and stuff. Anyway

Please help.

Thanks 🙂

This is just the xml file, the other is the executable and no, you can't just read executable like a text file.
just go delete them

run a malware and hitman pro scan make sure there no other dropper programs. look under add/remove programs by date see if the last few days there are any fake progams that got installed.
