BleepingComputer.com: How to remove flashupdaterr.exe (I think it's a virus)

Recently, i just recovered from BSOD that always happen when i started my comp.
I took care of it. But i haven't removed the virus that cause it.
I saw flashupdaterr.exe on my task manager.It's acting really suspicious.
It had an error for once (encountered a problem) but it's still going on the task manager.
I tried stopping it, but it came up again after a sec.

And there' also a file that named flashupdaterr.exe on my C drive.
It has no extension, the description is "syncui".
I tried deleting it, but it said i don't have permission to do it.

And i can't run my Kaspersky (avp.exe won't run).
It didn't even show up on the task manager.
I think some virus is preventing it from running (possibly flashupdaterr.exe)

How do i remove it ?
