If you want a detailed security rating about your taskmgr.exe (and all other running background processes) 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!

Not always harmless as previous comments so readily state: I found a taskmgr.exe in a folder that was hidden from view even with "display hidden files and folders" enabled, ($program folder$\msm\taskmgr.exe), and when listing the text in the .exe, it turns out it contains pretty much the variables, methods, error messages an FTP server would have. So in my case, this is NOT windows taskmgr. Be careful with what folder it is in, and whether it has version information and certificates when you check its properties out. I recommend Security Task Manager for identifying processes such as this one.  See also: Link Sebastian L. strg+Alt+Entf gut um prozesse zu "killen", und als übersich über laufende Prozesse!!!
