That is hard to tell without looking at the file itself. If you have
an updated viruskiller you'd most likely be safe.

You can locate the files by using the search function in your start
menu. If they are in a folder belonging to a program you have
installed, this is probably where they came from.

If these files are started when you boot up your computer, and you
want to stop them from doing this, you could Start->Run and type
"msconfig" (without the quotes) and look for them under the StartUp
tab. Just remove the tick in front of the name and reboot - the
programs shouldn't be starting anymore.

However, if these files belong to some software you have installed,
the software might not work properly anymore. You can always go back
to msconfig and turn them on again.

To be sure if this is a virus or not I'd advise you to locate the
files with a search and send them to one of the companies that make
viruskillers, ex. f-prot at

Not knowing what kind of system you have and what kind of programs you
are running it is a bit of a hard guess what those programs are ,
however the names of the programs do give away some of their
functionality

Dfb4A4 is an RGB color code for a pastel in the brown range and UvB4
is a name of a filter code

My guess is that these programs are either part of your Video card
(although I have never heard of any of them using this kind of
programs) or you have some elaborate paint/picture editing program
installed

If both are not the case there is a chance they are masked programs or
trojans , or some other sort of spyware or indeed a virus

Get a program called Spy-sweeper from Http://www.webroot.com (it is
free for first time users , if you want updates you need to pay for a
subscription) and a good anti virus program (Norton or Mcafee) , if
you do not have 40+ dollars available to shell out for a virus
protector , there are some free alternatives available of which the
better one is AVG from Http://www.grisoft.com
