Most likely spyware or a virus.

do virus and spywware scans, remove anything it finds, remove that item from your msconfig startup list (start>run>msconfig) and then restart.

then download and isntall hijackthis! (search gooogle) and post the log file so we can look at it.

Try going into safe mode, making a copy of the file somewhere else and then delete from "WINDOWS/system32/eyhownbz.exe" and see if it copys itself back into your system32 directory

jsut do what i posted above.

rules it out of being spyware, a virus, and get rid of other possible viruses.

If you don't get any Google hits on a file name, it's probably a randomly named file generated by a trojan.
Get an online virus scan, then download/install/update/run the very latest versions of Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware.
