Funnily enough, it seems this 'msmsgs.exe' disaster may have come from a recent Java update. The only other place could be Windows Live, from Microsofts' own site. I've read online that there was, indeed, a virus cloaked in a Java update....*sigh*....it was hidden as a 'toolbar', which I never, ever accept. I guess I wasn't paying attention, because I was not expecting such a thing from Java...that's just crazy....people embed them in apps/programs, but Java? Ingenius...of course you have to unaccept them, as they come as automatically attached to download. Grrrr...spambots...

Seriously, hackers. Get a life. What is the fascination with making random, unbeknownst-to-you people miserable for a short time? Do you hate yourselves and and your lives that much?

Yeesh. :roll:
