This is the background process for MySQL; it listens for and responds to queries from programs. MySQL is one of the most popular database systems in the world, and is commonly used for private database implementations as well as commercial software, so it may be installed as part of another package. (As a side note, ""daemon"" is a term commonly used for background processes on UNIX systems.) 

If you want a detailed security rating about your mysqld-nt.exe (and all other running background processes) read the following user opinions, and download the free trial version of Security Task Manager.

Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out!
