wintask.exe help

As of today I have been recieving multiple pop-ups on my computer.  I scanned my computer using Ad-aware and Norton Virus, and I believe the problem is in the file: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\wintask.exe
 
I am having trouble fixing/deleting the file.  Of course, I could be wrong and maybe it is something else wrong with my computer.  Also, when I run HijackThis, I get a Norton AntiVirus Alert that states C:\unzipped\hijackthis[1]\hijackthis.log is infected with a virusname of MHTMLRedir.Exploit and they are unable to repair the file.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

    I have followed the directions on this screen, but when I open my Registery Editor I do not find:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Emanuel

    or

    \Winnt\System32\wintask.exe

    You might want to post on the antivirus/spyware forum for more help. Use the Find option on the menu in Regedit to search for Wintask.
