  4. Yes, it may be runouce.exe or runouse.exe because its virus and may change its name to hide itself.

  14. May be my opinions are best for you...! when i was facing readme.eml problem I debugged it with following process...!
    Just search your all computer for *.eml files and open the hidden files options from search. Then delete all files and direct plug out your computer from switchboard (never give time to recreation of virus) tha reinstall window.
    That's it!!!
