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.
