Strangely it only seems to show up once per day. I ran a hijackthis session and didn't see anything obvious. I'd love to know the Spyware's name (or variant ).

Kind of, but it isn't trying to replicate a BSOD exactly.
Maybe it is a variant.

Control panel - Administrative Tools - Services - scroll down to messenger and double click it, then disable it
