Vista process: CHIATUZKAJXFJDZ?

[IamDavid]

What is this?

Spyware....... I'm sure Windows Defender will be able to get rid of it. Run a full scan

I haven't visted any site except here, ebay, paypal and google since install! Can't be spyware already... I hope.

I found a similar possible spyware here: http://spywarefiles.prevx.com/RRHCDF32209758/CHIAT.EXE.html

That's rather interesting. I don't see how browsing "safe" sites you mentioned should cause that very suspicious process. Is your computer shared with anyone in the family? Did you recently install a software for some reason is packaged with that file? Is UAC off?

Maybe run a virus scan using NOD32 or those Vista compatible antivirus (and anti-malware) such as a-squared. You can also upload a sample of the file to http://www.virustotal.com and the site will use most popular virus/malware scan engines to identify it. As for Windows Defender - if the process installed and started, then it didn't catch it for whatever reasons.
