pdhepl40.exe

[Donald Boelling]

I found a process on my system that is running. It is very strange and
I do not know what it is. Here are the facts...

Filename: pdhepl40.exe

It is in c:\windows\system32
It is a hidden file and can not be unhidden
It can not be seen, even in dos mode
Even XP Task Manager does not see it running
It listens on port 1044

I would not even have known about it except I was testing another
third party task manager called "Security Task Manager" which can see
the process and file.

Anyone have any info on it?
