Hi AeyhHyon,

What were the results of following the Castlecops MRP (from the link posted by Ikeb above)?

Also, please post a link to your HiJackThis log - I can't seem to find it in the HJT forum.

What firewall are you using? You should be able to block communications between your system and an IP address in your firewall settings.

I found msmsg.exe to be active (Verizon Internet Security Suite) even though I was not even on the internet ( my modem was not powered on). Securityresponse.symantec.com listed msmsg.exe as a trojan horse nicknamed backdoor.simali as of April 2003. I think this is what is causing the unsolicited VOIP to occur even though I have never even signed up for free VOIP, VONAGE, SKYPE or any type of VOIP, computer to phone whatever. I'm not sure what to do except to notify my phone and DSL provider as well as file a complaint to the FCC and FTC.

That's a sneaky one - msmsgs.exe is a valid Windows file, msmsg.exe is a baddie.

Have you removed the infection?

Okay. Just what does msmsg.exe do?

There is one computer worm? virus again on my computer:

• C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys\b0544029296256eb4be343af6cab8e73_3b78d46a-d7fa-43b2-a5d5-24cbee5e4641

What does this one do?

Hi AeyhHyon,

msmsg.exe could do anything, but generally it seems to be associated with providing an unauthorised access point to your system.

Earlier in this thread you have been requested 5 times to run through our Malware and Removal Procedure . You have 3 other threads relating to this problem which have been locked in order that we can keep our assistance confined to one thread (this thread).

here you stated on 29th December that you had submitted your HJT log, yet in this thread on 7th January you claimed you didn't know how to post a log. A full HJT log has never been posted on this site.

Once again, I ask you to run through the MRP . You should follow Step 1, miss out Steps 2 & 3, then run through Steps 4 to 10. Step 10 has clear instructions telling you how to post a HiJackThis log and lists all the information our experts will need to assist you. To post a link to this thread, simply highlight and copy this - /postlite143250-.html - then paste it into your post in the HiJackThis forum.

If you find you still cannot submit a log then post back here and we will sort that out. The MRP will clean out many things on your system but I still feel it is important to have your log read.
