Windows Media Center Diagnostic Application (stdrt.exe) Malware

Couple of hours back, I started hearing some kind of internet radio playing and couldn’t see any window or instances of browser working in background.

 

After some few minutes hunting in task manager and running Norton Insight, found out a new process "stdrt.exe" is running.

 

Also I can see an item in Windows 7 Volume Mixer named "Name not available." which is now muted and unable to mute it.

 

Also this takes up lot of resources.

 

Found out this seems to be a malware. Lot of people have reported it but Norton is marking this process as legitimate process.

 

Also I am not able to remove this malware. Need help.

 

Windows Process Properties:

 

Process Location: C:\Windows\Temp\mrtA37F.tmp

Process: stdrt.exe

Process Name: Windows Media Center Diagnostic Application

 

Currently I am using Norton 360 latest version.
