Are you sure that is spelled correctly and is not really... msiexec16.exe ?
If so, Symantec calls this...
Backdoor.OptixPro.14 -
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.optixpro.14.html
Please go to McAfee (
http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/mfs/default.asp) and/or Trend
(
http://housecall.antivirus.com ) and perform and online scan of your platform and report
back your results.
Based upon the results, we can go on from there.

| A look at task manager - processes shows msiexece16.exe PID 1300 CPU
| (between 95 -98) Memory 5996k. This process is using almost all of
| the cpu cycles. If I end the process the speed is back to normal and
| there does not appear to be any ill effects. I could find nothing
| about this exe thru a google search. I can't find a registry enty to
| disable it's load up at start time. Help re what this process is and
| does and best way to (if possible) permanently eliminate it. Thanks
| in advance.

Erased all those above which are asterisked - the others I sould not
find and "SEARCH" reported NOT FOUND.
Went to Symantec's page for OptixPro14 and made the registry fixes
from regedit run as a COM file from Start|Run|"command". Rebooted
then ran Trend's Scan
