Suspicious Programs - Startup

I have found the following programs on my computer and is
trying to determine if they are spywares:

SK9910DM.EXE
NWIZ.EXE
WD (WORM DETECTOR)
ebot

Does anyone know of a service or a way that I can find out
about these things.

They are not showing up in a directory either.

Download the program called: "Adaware" from this website:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

Update the 'reference' file first before running the program. When you
launch the program you'll see a link called: "check for updates now"
Click on it and it will get the latest 'reference' file.

If you don't have any anti-virus program on your computer then I'd do an
online scan at Panda:

You just want to determine if a certain program is spyware, maybe before installing. Go to this site and look them up in their database
spychecker.com

Nwiz.exe is related to nvidia. Do you have an nvidia card?
sk9910dm.exe is keyboard software (for running Hotkeys). Do you have a
'fancy' or a 'generic' keyboard?
wd.exe can be a debugger. Where did you get the title 'worm detector' from?
