Strange named program/file in Processes and Temp folder

HI
 
I recently received my E1505 and am having fun getting to know my way around it.  I plan to do a reformat/reinstall as soon as I have some time.
 
I've found a file showing up in my Temp folder that I've never seen on my other computers and went searching to see where it came from.  The file is called clclean.0000.dir.000   There is a process in the Task Manager called clclean.0000
 
I cannot delete the folder from the temp file unless I'm in Safemode. Probably because the process isn't loading in Safemode.
 
I've searched thru my computer - msconfig, startup, registry under run, searched for the word clclean in the registry without any luck. I have made hidden files and system files shown and still can't locate clclean as a file.
 
I've run HiJack, Adware, AVG, Housecall and nothing says this is a malicious file, however it bugs me that I don't know where it comes from.
 
I searched the web and while many people talked about the file, no one really had a solution.  Oh, forgot - about two years ago this file was showing up in people's HiJack log - but it's not showing up in mine.
 
Anyone have any idea what this is, and how I can get rid of it?  I'm hoping it will go away when I do the reinstall, but in between I'm curious. As well as frustrated. :)
 
Thanks much.

    Are you sure it is not clclean.0001? There are many hits with that in Google.

    Here is what one indicates:
