    I'm running XP sp3 nd recently I found a service installed in
    [ C:\Documents and Settings\My Playground\Local Settings\Temp ].
    The name is "BSZVOGHEDKM.EXE" (googled it, no hits!)

    The service is set to manual startup and I never see it running. About the service, winpatrol says "local file not found"...

    Is this a malware related issue? If so, how do I uninstall this service?

    I would advise the following

    a) Check with services.msc whether is still not running and set to manual when your PC is operational (when still running, check location and upload to virus total or simular multi AV check )

    b) creat a system restore point
    c) download autoruns & hitman Pro & sanity check anti rootkit
    d) disable and remove the file with autoruns
    e) reboot
    f) run Hitman Pro
    g) run sanity check
    h) check whether something suspicious is reported
    i) when everything is normal create another restore point
