On my machine, this program runs when Origin gaming platform is initialised.
It is located in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\" folder.

Just like AlongerName said, this is running while Origin is installing Battlefield 4. Has to be something with Origin.

Just if you close origin you should be fine, it should not be running anymore. So just close your origin when you are not using it.

Installs this exe when you install any ORIGIN game. Harmless but does use resources.

This process is running with my VPN client.
I think it is some kind of spyprocess, from the big corporations.
Turned out I did not need it for the VPN to run properly.
Once I had closed the process and checked the VPN client I could not see the interference, but my traffic was still safe.

Looking at Task Manager - properties - the QtWebEngineProcess.exe has it's source(?) the (free) AdAware program that is supposed to be running a check at the moment.

The program is a part of Origin (EA Games) for automatic downloading of Origin client.
