msmsgs.exe

[Guest]

I have Win XP home, and every few days or when i haven't been on my computer
in a while, a task in task manager starts called msmsgs.exe and takes up 99%
of my CPU capacity. This is very frustrationg, as everything runs VERY slow,
even when opening task manager do end it. Now i know it is related to MS
Messenger or MSN messenger. How can i keep this process from reoccuring?
