    Exe in Ubuntu

    Just noticed that a process called exe appears to be using a lot of my CPU cycles etc. I have checked system monitor which confirms the process as exe. Mousing over the process in system monitor I can see that this is something to do with with flashplayer. I have checked all my open browser windows and I can't see any Flash type apps running.

    What's occurring?

    I'm running Chrome as a browser BTW.

    It's Chrome's flash player process. There have been a lot of questions about this one! As for why it's running without any flash pages open, I have no idea.
    If anything I say is unclear, don't hesitate to ask for a breakdown.

    We are many, we are one.
