File was eating processor and locking internet explorer. Killed it okay from task manager. Found it in \windows\system32. In properties (right click) it identified itself as from Relevant Knowledge; deleting it did no harm to system. Couldn't find it listed in any of the startup places.

I removed it from registry settings, killed the process and deleted the exe

Yes this file may well cripple the network (see link below) - its a network proxy. However this file may have ist own "add/remove programs" entry under "Relevant Knowledge"- in which case it can be safely removed that way.

It's a pain to get rid of as killing it spawns 5 instances (on my machine anyway). Took a safe-mode reboot to finally get rid of the damned thing, then I had to fix my TCP/IP stack.

Kompletten Systemausfall versursacht, nur das Betriebssystem reagierte noch
   

öffnete einen popup mit ner umfrage. dass in Taskmanager, ließ sich finden und löschen

It is spyware. I discovered it in taskmanager because it came up whenever i logged on, and i didn't like the look of it, so i researched it. I kept ending the process, but that did not solve the problem. If you have windows xp, go into my docs, etc. and hit search, all files and folders,and type in rlvknlg. In advanced options, tick all boxes, and then search. it should come up with the file, and might have an icon displaying a computer with a red "M" on the screen. Delete it, and also remove it from your recycle bin.

This file showed up in a list of commands in the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del). I may not know which files are supposed to be active, but this one definitely caught my attention as something new/different. It's scary.
