One of my coworkers was complaining about his computer running slow. I went into Task Manger and found this process running, moynhu.exe. When you stop the process it keeps poping up again. I booted the PC into safemode and deleted the file and registry entry. I found this same file running on another coworkers PC last week.
Does anyone have any information on this file or where it came from?

Nothing comes up via a Google search. Most likely it is a random name generated by some kind of critter.

My advice...

Download and run Microsoft Antispyware Beta
Spybot Search and Destroy
Connect to and run their full scan.

Then download and run Hijack this, posting the log here for some assistance in tearing it apart.
