This not a windows process and from the name it looks odd enought to be a
new viral process.
Can you see it's properties and what app belong to!

Try this:
install the free trial of Windows Live OneCare

A Google search for "epxoxjk.exe" bring up nothing. Usually this means the
file is malware. You can send the file to VirusTotal for virus
identification. They will send it to numerous antivirus companies and then
report back to you.

In the meantime, you most definitely should scan for viruses and malware.

Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -

Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do
all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using
Multi_AV in Vista.

When all else fails, get guided help. Choose one of the specialty forums
listed at the first link. Register and read its posting FAQ. PLEASE DO NOT
POST LOGS IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS.

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair
shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be
aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if
they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be
clean-installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before you take
the machine into a shop.

A google search on epxoxjk.exe results in no hits. Almost always when
that's the case, it's because the name is one generated randomly by
some malware program you are infected with. So almost certainly you
are infected.
 
Malke, Ken,
great thanks for your input. I will check the registry and clean all
entries :-)

You didn't quote anything, so I'm not sure what this is in reference
to, but if I remember correctly, I said you are probably infected with
malware.

If you are infected, checking and cleaning the registry is highly
unlikely to solve your problem.
