I've done a bit of Research. MPK.exe means MyPopUpKiller.exe (Just an abbreviation)

However, upon further review it appears to be a KeyLogger, Trojan or Worm. Some state from the KGB? I'd recommend you disable that program until further notice and until it can be confirmed as a Keylogger.

The "Windows" File you see should be located here:

Code: [Select]

C:\Windows\System32 or sometimes in a subfolder of the "My Files" folder.
 Therefore the technical security rating is 88% dangerous
**NOTE** The file is Hidden. Using regular tactics of find and searching will not reveal anything. I've attached a few pics in order to find the file.

You can find some of the info @ http://www.file.net/process/mpk.exe.html

Windroy lets Android run on Windows systems.
Kinda like Wine that lets you run Windows applications on Linux.

mpk.exe is a filename that is used by several legitimate applications.
However, in most instances where that file is found it is not a legitimate file but malware.
The location of that file as well as the size is a start to see which one it is.

Since avast flags it, I strongly suggest to follow these instructions:
