    Unknown process running

    I have an unidentified process running that I cant shut down:

    chkiufhg.exe

    Nothing whatsoever on Google, doesnt show up on AV scan or malware/spyware scans.

    Any ideas?

    Just run Hijackthis which tells me its a Windows Domain Service.

    Just stopped it in services.msc ... will disable and see what occurs.

    Think it could be malware?

    I believe a Domain Service is associated with a server setup - in any case, there are indeed NO entries anywhere for that named exe file.

    You get some truly strange stuff looking for 'iufhg' .

    If you are still running XP:

    Me, I would suspect it is malware of some kind.
