 | MSN Messenger for Online Chat and Instant Messaging
| Alex |
| this is the exe for MSN Messenger
| Crazyboy74 |
 | msmsgs.exe is a Windows Messenger executable which is automatically loaded during XP boot, not a MSN Messenger (msnmsgr.exe). It is safe to disable and does not effect usage of the MSN Messenger. Easy removal:

| Windows Messenger, not MSN Messenger - correct. However, that other link from ProArt is wrong - that refers to disabling the Messenger Service. Try this:

| This is Windows Messenger that comes bundled with Windows OS. MSN Messenger is seperate from the OS and can be shut down fully or started up whenever you want.

| Like ProArt said, it's the Messenger service that XP uses to alert Microsoft of updates and such, different from the MSN Messenger.

| NEW Hijack! This file is located in c:\program files\messenger and 1.7Mb. IE is Hijacked with Win32/TrojanDownloader.Small.UT Trojan and NOD32 was unable tot rename or delete the file c:\windows\system32\crtv2_32.dll (size: 4k). After killing msmsg.exe (not MSN Messenger!!!) I was able to delete the DLL and the hijack was solved.... Anti-Spy.Info reported this msmsg.exe also as dangerous! Didn't found more articles on this yet!

| msmsgs.exe is not very dangerous for most intents and purposes. It's annoying though if someone knows how to exploit it. Imagine working online and suddenly a messenger box opens up from someone wanting to chat with you... and all without MSN Messenger being open. I got rid of it. Syrynxx's link is accurate on elmination techniques. See that.

 | I've not been able to disable this executable. Even when it says disabled it seems to run anyway sending data to "keylime stats". This attempts to log data several times an hour and this is verified through my firewall.

 | All I know is there is no way to stop this fromrunning in your background processes unless you uninstall it permanately!!Everything else just seems to disable it for a short period of time.

| Windows Messenger, not MSN Messenger If you want to dissable it (it is safe to do) simply erase it from your disk. I have tried other options and none really worked.
| Isaac |
| there is a new virus using the name "msmsgs.exe" because you THINK its a normal executable. Watch out for it
| Merkur |
| This is NOT Msn messenger, msn messenger comes up as msnmsgr in your startup
| me |
| Going by BlackViper it just waste's memory, disable it.

| found as spyware, not messenger!

| 1)msmsgs.exe could be a virus as long as it is located into the system directory (../system32 for win xp) 2)Windows Messenger is not MSN Messenger and you could stop thi service by going to control panel-- system and maintenance-- services (I can't remember exactly since now I'm working on Win NT). Anyway even if removed the task "msmsgs.exe" still run onto your pc 3)I would try to remove MSN Messenger (see syrynxx's link) and then (if you want) reinstall it. After reinstalled it go to options and unchek the flag which enable it to run in background

| Mike H |
| Knew Nothing until my Firewall kept going off with this file asking to act as a server. =...and launching IE. Annoying, irritating, potentially dangerous.
| Charybdis |
| msmsgs.exe is not msmsgr.exe(MSN Messenger) or messenger service. It's a downloader virus.
