I'm reading all new comments so don't hesitate to post a question about the file. If I don't have the answer perhaps another user can help you.
I was getting a lot of popups in the corner of my screen, ads.
Whatever I did to that popup would result in an opening of my browser and and unwanted ad. I believe this was being generated by Mobogenie of which this file is part of. I could not remove Mobogenie, it would not let me. If I tried to just delete the folder it would tell me I did not have proper credentials and would actually regenerate the files that I did manage to delete. Only way to get rid of it was to use the program adwarecleaner. It came up on it and I got rid of it I thought except for this geniefloater. I still get the popups again but I have yet to figure out how this file stayed behind. I just now disabled it for the second time in the startup menu so I will see if the ads return.

This exe seem to be responsible for some pinky pictures appearing on my office computer screen. Very Annoying and embarrassing.
