Msmgsd.exe - is the Microsoft Messenger. So it is no wonder that AdAware nor Avast pick it up.
I suggest two things: 1. Download HiJackThis from the TrendMicro website, run a scan with LOG and paste this log here for our perusal. TrendMicro's HiJackThis 2.
Download MBAM and SuperAntiSpyware, run a scan with both. MBAM SuperAntiSpyware NOTE: if the apps will not install, try renaming them to TEST1.EXE, then try to install again. Or just go on the safe side and when you DL them rename them at that time. Ben 'If it works don't fix it! Allen bradley slc 5/05 battery location. If it doesn't use a sledgehammer.'
RE: UseNext Account Generator v1.2 msmgsd.exe HELP! My mistake, I was in a rush this morning, and I mistook the said file for the Messenger Service. IT is obviously NOT the case, and that file is 99.9% malware, or should be taken for malware.
Another tip, before cleaning out malware, make sure that SYSTEM RESTORE is turned OFF, a lot of malware hide in there and can respawn from that location. Still do post a HiJackThis LOG, and DO scan with MBAM and SAS (both as the one finds stuff the other does not). Ben 'If it works don't fix it! If it doesn't use a sledgehammer.'
RE: UseNext Account Generator v1.2 msmgsd.exe HELP! (MIS) 16 Jan 10 08:45. I would like to add that system restore can be turned off after the malware has been removed and the PC is rebooted once to make sure that the PC is still bootable. Then you can turn the Sys Rest OFF and do another quick scan if you're paranoid.
I'm wary about turning system restore off unless the system is very stable because once you turn it off, there's no easy way to restore the registry, etc. It IS a good idea though with nasty malware. Most 'normal' malware it's not required - Personal Antivirus, XP Antivirus 2009 - those sort of mild infections. Root kits and Trojans (TDSS) that keep trying to come back are once to concerned with RE: UseNext Account Generator v1.2 msmgsd.exe HELP! Once you've followed Ben's suggestions, just to be sure, it wouldn't hurt doing this: 1.
Scan with the 2 programs he mentioned earlier - Malwarebytes and SuperAntispyware. Turn off System Restore 5.
Turn back on System Restore 7. Download, install, and run Advanced System Care.
- The nifty little app will check practically everything. - Here's how I suggest running it: After you install it, it'll open itself for the first time, allowing you to customize a thing or two, then it'll start its first scan. I would suggest stopping the scan, then hit the big button to the left on the application screen.
That way, it'll run through the entire process, including a good defrag. After you finish all of that, reboot again. If no issues, you're all done for now. Of course, you could do other things as well, but should be all set. Also, make sure you've got good active protection, and basically this setup as a minimum: 1.
Hardware firewall (a router between you and your internet connection (modem) 2. Software Firewall - Comodo Internet Security or Online Armor (Online Armor currently does not run on 64-bit, I hope it will soon) 3. Good Active Antivirus - Avira Antivir my current #1 choice, and I believe at least Ben agrees there.
Well, that should cover it, I believe. -- 'If to err is human, then I must be some kind of human!' -Me RE: UseNext Account Generator v1.2 msmgsd.exe HELP!
(MIS) 25 Jan 10 17:18. Okay, here's another method that's often forgot about, that I've used very successfully (assuming it finds the same or related entries): • Download and run • Manually delete anything it finds - or if you want, you can pay to have it delete anything it finds, but I found I was able to look up the entries manually, delete them, and that took care of some issues. • Reboot • Run SuperAntispyware again to see if finding the same entries still, or if they are gone - if find them again, let it try to remove it. This time, hopefully it won't have it's support group there, so it'll die easier. • And reboot again • If you want to do some more checking/scanning, it might not hurt to also try the for scanning your machine outside of Windows.
