Recently my computer began running very slow. My cpu/mem widget was showing CPU utilization at a near constant 99%. I opened Task Manager and found multiple instances of an image running with the name of “Ezspvdph.exe”. The description column of Task Manager showed “Google Chrome”. This was a big surprise as I am not running Google Chrome browser! I located the file Ezspvdph.exe and was able to delete it along with associated files and directories. Then I stopped the multiple Ezspvdph.exe processes. A few minutes later, it was back! I went through the same process again and deleted the files and re-booted my PC. After reboot, it was back. I again deleted the files and went into regedit and deleted google & chrome entries. I’m afraid that when I reboot my pc it may come back.
I did a google, bing, and yahoo search on “Ezspvdph.exe” and there were no search results. Very strange, as I don’t think I’m the only one on earth with this malicious application.
What is “Ezspvdph.exe” and what is its’ function?
Help!

(P.S. – my computer is running Win 7, 32 bit, neither malwarebytes or Microsoft security essentials recognizes Ezspvdph.exe)
If you are sure that you don't have Google Chrome on your computer, you should check this file with updated SpyHunter because there is a huge possibility that Ezspvdph.exe is related to rogue anti-spyware that hasn't been included to the data base of Malwarebytes or Microsoft Security Essentials. Such programs as Win 7 Antivirus 2014 and similar rogues have been actively using randomly named files from trying to hide their presence on the system and prevent their removal.
If Spyhunter fails to recognize this file, you should contact its ‘Spyware HelpDesk’and ask for help. Here is a post that explains how you can do that: https://www.2-spyware.com/news/post1426.html
