ASP.NET Administration – ASPNET_WP.EXE

Aspnet_wp.exe is the Microsoft ASP.Net Worker Process. Files called aspnet_admin.exe and aspnet_state.exe may also be running on your system. These files makes it possible for you to manage ASP.NET server applications.

More information on ASP.NET management can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;815169.

If you're a web developer, if you're running a web server, if you work with active server pages, or if you're running a program or process with an external state, leave this file in place. If you're quite sure that you're not doing any of these things, you can try removing it using WinPatrol. If something stops working, re-enable it.
