i have checked for viruses and have found none. all that was present was adware. this process takes up about 90% of cpu when it is running, i end task with task manager and everything runs fine.

That is a virus, whatever you are using to scan with is not sufficient or not up to date. You must cross check with multiple products.

Did you try right clicking on it to see if it has any info on it like version # and stuff like that might belong to a program you have on you computer |

Random file names like that are always malware.
