Found this on someone's computer yesterday. No clue what it's doing but eating up 1/3 of his ram and processing power. Did the usual google search, no luck. Tried to delete it in safemode then delete every registry key that contained it, but no luck. Any suggestions?
 
It's obviously some sort of spyware or a virus.

Have you found any files called expkey.exe? Run a system search on it.
 
i think its a random xp keygen for a series of networked computers to keep from having to do activation with any hardware change.

throw in a win98 boot disc and delete it in dos commands
also try giant antispyware free trial
 
when you search goodle take off the .exe part .. i found tons of information on the very first page for expkey

Try again :eek:
