    Suspicious process found in task manager


    As of yesterday I have noticed a suspicious process in task manager that seems to replicate WinUpdate.exe
    It is listed in process list as Win Update.exe (same but with a space) and its description is "botom". I wasn't able to find anything on the Google but there is also a yellow red and blue icon when alt-tabbing that has no title and does nothing when you select it, but it goes away after ending the process. (Now there is two of these icons and one is gone after ending the Win Update process and I'm not sure how to get rid of the other yet). Anyone have any clue what this could be? I'm also currently scanning with Malware Bytes while I'm going AFK for a few hours

    mythix,


    Please submit the Win Update.exe file for analysis to VirusTotal:
    http://www.virustotal.com/

    Use the 'Choose File' button to navigate to the location of the file.
    (Path on the Desktop = C:\Users\(Your User Name)\Desktop\MBR.dat)

    In the Choose file to upload prompt, select the file, then, click the 'Open' button.
    The file is now displayed in the blank box of VirusTotal
    Click: Scan It, and wait for the results.

    If you get a message saying: File has already been analyzed, click: Reanalyze file now

    Once scanned, please provide the link to the results page in your reply.
