XP shutdown 'problem program' can't be found

Every time Win XP Pro is closing down, I am told that "Eqqbfqqm.exe" must be
closed as it is not working propely, and I comply with XP's wishes then the
machine shuts down and reboots. Then when I reboot, I search for the program
named "Eqqbfqqm.exe", but apparantley it does not exist on my PC. So how is
it preventing me from shutting down if it doesn't exist?! I tell the Windows
search utility to look in all folders, even system and hidden, but it still
can't find it. I did a Google search for the filename as well, but found no
information on it at all. How do I find out what this program is and what it
does?
TIA.
Eos.

Thanks for your email "M S"! I tried what you suggested, but it didn't show
anything in the registry.

I rebooted, but this time into safe-mode and searched again. The file showed
up this time so I deleted it. All "looks" well, but I don't know if I
should've deleted it or not, as I ain't got a clue what it was. It was in
the system32 folder.

P.S.
SpyBot and AdAware found nothing either.
