It is a worm. It will make your computer experience background advertisements. If you tried running MalwareBytes anti-malware, it disabled the process and deleted the program itself.

I know that it wipes your entire computer, it's not fun to have. Also, there is A.exe
Bradley Blei

It pops up every now and again and tries to open some unknown website. Since I don't know what these websites are I cannot discern how dangerous this is, but I don't intend on finding out. Not too bad, but annoying.
Brian

steals more than half my CPU cycles and 50mbs of memory with no apparent purpose. Noticed that ads randomly pop up in IE8 (firefox is default browser). May have something to do with that stupid 'evony' game that you see fucking ads for everyfuckingwhere on teh internets now. Also advertises for that game.

It just appeared one day, it doesn't SEEM to do anything so DELETE it at first chance (close the process through taskmanager first if you cannot delete it straight away).
Neil

b.exe is a execultable file that disrupts you while web browing. Sometimes out of nowhere even while not having a Internet Explorer window, it still manages to to peak in and play audio advertisement, and some audio streams (i.e. the Adams Family Webisode) you wonder where it comes from then you open Task Manager under the Process tab you see a bunch of b.exe and iexplorer windows even if you dont have an open window, getting rid of it can be challenging becuase even with the Norton 2010 version it still wasnt able to diminish the b.exe just quarantine and comes back. Very Annoying!!!
