Download Filemon at http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html and make it to run at startup. In it, there is an option to use filters... Set it to filter for grgztinkxazzaiht... Now, delete the file and restart your system... Minimize the Filemon program until after the file is created again. Hopefully, you will find what software is creating it.
