Ever visit the website twistedhumor.com? From what I've seen, it's spyware from that website. It also could come from a virus.

In your registry, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsfot\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and delete it. It won't runanymore.

Do a search on your hard drive to delete the file.

Then, update your virus software and run a full system scan.

Hope it helps.

I should have clarified - in the registry setting, delete wnad.exe NOT the entire registry key.

It's a spyware program. You want to get rid of it. There's an explanation of the program and removal instructions here:

As for realplayer, run regedit and look in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsfot\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, RunOnce, and RunOnceEx and delete any references to it.
