I would still run Malwarebytes anyway, a second opinion is always good.

This is caused by Sound Blaster program created when I installed my head phones and it's programs.  How I got rid of it was to un-installed that program from my computer.  The file causing this problem is:   C:\program files\Creative\.....

If you need that program with the head phones, Just plug in the head phones and let Microsoft finalize the operation without installing all the add in that comes in the installation CD.  The problem goes away!

I just disabled the VolPanlu.exe in the startup, and kept the rest of my apps.  I didn't use the app in the systray anyways.  Login as with admin rights, right click taskbar, select Task Manager, select Startup tab, scroll down to VolPanlu.exe, right click the app, select disable.
