Microsoft Messenger acting weird
Ok the issue is with Microsoft messenger(msmsngs.exe) not MSN.
Ok I have a friend and I was tunning up her system. I cleaned it with Adaware and Spybot. She has norton running and i made sure it was updated. I i used the cleaner to scan for trojans i know TDS -3 is better but its easier for her to use the cleaner later. The cleaner found three "Mysearchbar" entries and cleaned it. Know i was checking netstat -aon to see what services and ports are listenning and found two really high ports so i checked the process and it was msmsngs.exe. I ended the msmsngs process and 5 seconds later it starts again. I used msconfig to stop it from starting and i checked the registery "run" and i removed it from there. the TCActive or is it the TCmonitor kept givin me an alarn since it added itself each time back to the registery in the "run". And each time it restarts it picks high ports.
What im asking, is this normal behavior. I mean i was always able to kill the process and it doesnt usually come back not msmsngs.
This is a behavior of a trojan
Thanks for the help
