I have discovered a very annoying little process that seems to be wreaking petty havoc on my computer. It is 8wpc582B.exe. It seems to generate odd sounds such as beeping and short zap sounds. Along with this it will occasionally take me to the profile screen. Finally and most annoying it attempts to set up internet connections on it's own. I have tried highjack this but I can't find this specific .exe Please help me I want to get rid of this thing without reformatting.
Need help!!!
