What is HOE67F.exe?

[bmomalley]

Hi Folks,

I just noticed a process called HOE67F.exe running on my PC. A quick
search on Google shows nothing at all. A search by Windows pathetic
built-in search utility didn't come up with that file either.

Anyone know what this is? Should I be concerned?

Thanks in advance!

Try search HIDDEN and SYSTEM?

I would be concerned about it as that is a very strange program name. It
seems like the kind of name you'd see from a virus or malware. What happens
if you terminate this program?

If you're not currently protected you should get AVG for viruses:

And these for spyware/malware:

I just noticed a process called HOE67F.exe running on my PC.

That file does not belong to Windows.

Should I be concerned?

Yes. An executable file with an obvious random name sounds like
malware.

I would be more concerned about the user who allowed malware to be installed
on their system.
