When I look at my taskmanager I sometimes see filenames that I don´t know. What is that file gives you the answer to the question. It´s solely based on user submissions, just like wikipedia for instance. Just enter a filename and the following information will be displayed: Name, purpose, description and if its safe or a malicious one. Great if you are not sure why a file is running on your system.
Similar sites that can help you as well are processlibrary.com and neuber.com. I recommend this procedure to every windows user. Fire up your taskmanager and search for every filename that you don´t know. Takes only a few minutes and gives you the possibility to get rid of some processes that are not useful or even malicious.
