Updated 8-Jul-2004: According to the folks out at Kephyr.com, wapitr.exe is part of PurityScan.wtss Adware. While I haven't tried theirs, they also have a spyware scanner that should clean it.

Any files ending with .exe can be deleted by restarting your Windows XP. Before it goes into Windows, press "F8" immediately and then go into Safe Mode. Next choose "Administrator". Once there, relocate these files ending with .exe and right click on them one by one to delete. Next, restart your computer and you will notice these files are gone.
