Process/task name: Microsoft Word
The WINWORD.EXE file and process is the main application of the Microsoft Word program of the Microsoft Office suite. Microsoft Word is a powerful text editor.
This process can be located at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Winword.EXE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\winword.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE
This process should only appear if you are running the Microsoft Word program or a program associated with it, such as Outlook (if Word is the default e-mail editor enabled in Outlook).
If these applications are not running or the process starts along with Windows, then the process is probably malware.
