As you can see in the above screenshot, khalmnpr.exe typically runs as the current user (in this case, Mike). A process with this name that is running as another user may be but is not necessarily indicative of a malware infection.

Dangers of khalmnpr
As this is an executable that is found on many systems with Logitech peripherals, it is possible for virus writers and spyware vendors to disguise their malware as the genuine one.

Some malicious files may have the same name but be stored somewhere other than in %SystemRoot%\System32. Other malware may use a name that appears similar to it but with slight differences in spelling or with appended digits. While there are currently no known viruses, trojans, or adware applications that disguise themselves as this process, you should look out for this file in an incorrect location or with a slightly different name.

There is typically only one instance of this process running at a given time on a system. The presence of multiple instances may be an indicator of a malware infection.
