It's no virus.

"Crazy" dll names and paths are generated by the .NET Framework in
temporary folders all the time to make them unique.

aspnet_wp.exe is supposed to start up when the class is a web page:

Alex is having a problem with the serialization assembly XmlSerializer creates.
What you may not know is that everytime an XmlSerializer is created for a
Type, it generates code for serialization and deserialization on-the-fly and
puts them in a uniquely-named assembly in the temp folder.

First thing to check is to make sure that ASPNET has permission to
read, write and create files in it's Temp folder (the path to this temp
folder is listed in the Exception's stack trace). If the serializer failed
to emit the assembly, then it won't be found when you need it.

Other things that can lead to this are those for which the code generated
by the XmlSerializer fails to compile (hence, the .dll is never written out
and that's why it cannot be found).
