Prozess : hwclock.exe ( Trojan ? )

HI,
do you know something about d Prozess ' hwclock.exe ' under Win XP?
i want to kill d prozess but if i do that it comes again.
So i decided to write a programm ( first for test ) to kill the prozess.
Is ' hwclock.exe ' a prozess needed by a progamm or by windows ?
Thx
MAT

It is a trojan. Scan and get rid of it.

Yeah, see here. Best to do a search to find where it is (probably system or system32) and delete it in safemode.
