Does anyone know what msfw.exe does? This file is running
in my Windows Task Manager Processes Tab and consuming up
to 80% of my CPU capacity. This just started today and
it's slowed my system almost to a halt. Is this a virus
or a Microsoft application? I don't want to delete the
file until I know what it does. Any help?
 
did you install any program or application recently? its not a virus, because the first 2 letters ms stands for MICROSOFT so its made from microsoft.
 
try this one, type msconfig at the run shortcut at the start menu. then go to the startup tab, then find this msfw program. unchecked it if it is there

this means that this is not a system file. this may be an application recently installed which is included in the startup items

then reboot the system.
 
That's not necessarily true -- I write programs all day
long and I can name them MS.......exe. Doesn't make them
from Microsoft, never will.
