Did you google for "users.exe",
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl= [...] arch&meta=

Well, symantec say it’s potentialy a worm, you should scan your
directory structur for viruses and then scan your computer with
spybot, if you dont have a virus scanner, and are too cheap (or just
dont want) to, AntiVir is a nice light wight no nonsence FREE virus
scanner (WHat norton should be).

Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
AntiVir: http://www.free-av.com/

Can you locate where users.exe is? and what it relates to?
