thread moved to the proper forum section.
Did you scan your system with some good antimalware such as MalwareBytes' Antimalware free and/or Superantispyware free portable and HitMan Pro (second opinion scanner - 30 days full working free trial) ?

I would also reccomend to download Avira Rescue System
read how to use it here

I researched Ground.exe through google and I could find a load of torrents and suspicious filesharing hosts.
All those download links lead to illegal downloads.
I guess you are aware that using warez is unethical, illegal in the most of Countries all over the World and cracks/keygen/patches are often infected , aren't you?

I am not using warez, i speak of other pc's

I used avira free and eset nod without a result

[leofelix]

right
then download and install MalwareBytes' Antimalware free and run a full scan into an infected computer.
Also run a scan with Super Antispyware portable free and HitMan Pro

1. About the title: How do you know it's a virus and not some stupid app trying hog your resources?

I used avira free and eset nod without a result

2. Did you use an Anti-Virus Boot Disk?

Trace the source. Use some windows utility tool like Process Explorer and find the root. Your Pc might be grounded too ( kidding! ).
