Werid program running, but cannot find in task manager

I get this program called Sample. The only time I know about this program is when I want to turn off or restart the pc, then the message box says End program now comes out. I could not find it in the task manager. How do I disable or remove this bad program/installer or whatever it is from popping out again? Using Toshiba M50 XP pro SP3 laptop
