First off, that should not be a running process at all, I looked in Several Of my XP machines
So it is likely spwyare/virus related to CallingHome.biz, can you take a picture of you FULL taskmanager in the processes tab for me with show processes from all users checked? And please stretch it out so I can see all processes, or take two images top and bottom. Just want to see some things, then I will help you remove it with hijackthis and maybe some other registry edits if you are up to that over a clean install. I highly suggest you download and install, then update and run Sypware Search & Destroy for now >>>
