Changeme.exe Error

I am having a problem with changeme.exe error that shows up everytime windows boots on a Dell Inspiron 600m. This error seems to lock up windows, everytime I try to click OK on it. I checked MSCONFIG, but cannot find it in there. Is there any way to get rid of this error, either through safe mode or a command prompt? This computer belongs to a friend, and when I checked it, found 20+ spyware/adware and 50 viruses. Any ideas or should I just reformat and start from scratch? Thanks.

yes, but if you put in changeme.exe you get about 8 hits, half of them are in foreign languages, so that is not much help.
