If you have World of Warcraft installed, this is the main executable. If you don't there's no reason to keep it.
   

When my computer is acting sluggish, 9 times out of 10, this WOW.EXE junk will be running in Windows Task Manager. As soon as I turn it off, I regain control of the PC. It pops up from out of the blue. I don't do games on my computer, so I would say it's being used as spyware, or game players or whoever may be using it to incorporate my CPU into a computer array ? A complete search of my HDD turns up NO FILE named WOW.EXE . A registry search turned up one instance of classified as an MRU. This tells me it's coming in over the web, and is being used by someone, either for spying, or CPU use.

Mine removes itself when you stop the process- Meaning it is trying to keep from being detected/examined. I have found this file twice- It slows down, I start looking for odd processes. When the process gets killed, there is no file left on the drive, however there are registry entries.

If you do not have World of Warcraft™ installed on your computer, a process with this name might be an unauthorized application designed to harm your computer/files. Otherwise, it's just the process that runs World of Warcraft on your computer.
