msmsgs.exe

  • Thread starter Thread starter pheasant
  • Start date Start date
why not just uninstall messenger and see if the program still shows up then
if it does find it kill it and delete it from startup in registry then retry
startup then if its gone reinstall messenger to load the proper msmmsgs and
see if that takes care of your problem
 
Sounds like this could be one of the Trojan.Zlob viruses:

Go to http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.zlob.html for instructions on how to remove it.

Note: I found this on a PC running a 'cracked' copy of Norton Anti-virus 2005 which was up-to-date and did NOT find the virus (but I kept seeing it appearing in Task Mgr), I had to boot into Safe Mode and search for it and remove it myself.
