Well like street1 told you my google returned only 1 hit for wu8ouv.exe and the hit is rthis very thread. Is your system running OK?
Deleting file is not the same as executing it.

In what folder is this file located? Did it just suddenly turn up? Are you running an up-to-date antivirus program?

I'd try renaming the file(you may have to reboot in safe mode to do this) and try running. If it causes a problem rename it back to the original
