First things first - get this:
http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml
and see what programs are running on startup which 
shouldn't be running.

I suspect you have been infected with a form of
spyware. I would try removing exw, and replacing it 
with a small text file of the same name. Then reboot, 
and look at that file. 

Also, I would take a look thru the corrupted exw with 
'strings' or a hex editor, looking for clues. Most of 
this spyware has some readable text. You may see
commands which are used to send e-mail, or snoop out 
passwords, etc.
