    This is without a doubt a trojan. Someone is remotely accessing your computer and can see all your files and anything you're doing (as well as upload, download, write and delete files). Somewhere along the line, someone had to send you a file that you opened which contained the trojan. After some research, it appears recently a new release of a program that has long been died off (one I used when I was in highschool to mess with my friends, it will remain nameless) has released recently. I'm about 95% sure this is what they're using.

     

    I'd highly recommend you immediately reformat your hard drive and just do a complete reinstall of the operating system before he decides to do you any damage. They're able to extract all your passwords with this tool, so all of your online jazz is at very high risk of being tampered with. With that said, after reformatting, change all your passwords.

     

    Edit: Just read and saw you found the trojan. Try to be more careful next time mr computer pro ;)
