Looks kind of suspicious since the sysnetwk.exe file is not digitally signed by Microsoft, but the product name claims that its part of "Microsoft Windows Operating System".

Are you folks experiencing some problem with the sysnetwk.exe file?

I found a scan result for the exact same sysnetwk.exe file here:

The detection rate is low, but I think it some sort of unwanted software.

Here's the detection result:
