I noticed a new .exe on my Task Manager this morning, "bowr.exe" does anyone know what this is?
Thanks

If it's not something you have installed, chances are it's not supposed to be there, Jim. However, a Google search produced absolutely nothing. Can you confirm the spelling of it?
What you could do in the meantime is run a spyware check, with Ad Aware and / or Spybot, then install Spyware Blaster to prevent future invasions (links below).

Thanks Simon
I could not find anything on the web about it either. I renamed it rebooted and it did not come back. I am running Norton and SpySweeper again after I updated both to see if it finds something.
