I tried search engines as well as looking on the usual spots, and I can't find anything about a process called egnaxsia.exe. This process was running on a computer which was riddled with adware. I've since cleaned it, but never did find anything about this mystery process. Can anyone comment on 'egnaxsia.exe'?

I googled it and the first few results were of travel destinations. The #1 result was tripadvisor. That might explain it.

Indeed, Google tries to correct it to the name of a city in Italy.

Cleaning with malwarebytes did resolve it, as the strange program is nowhere to be found now. I was just curious whether or not it was a known thing or not. I'm fortunate that I've so far never been the first one to ever find new badware that hasn't yet been well-documented. Seems like it's a normal thing for these programs to have weird names, so I guess we're done here. I'll resolve the question.
