Recently I have been getting a request from my firewall
software to allow a program called msmgt.exe access to the
internet. I never had this happen before last week and
when I click on properties for the program, all I get is
that it's a DOS program in my Windows folder and it's
34,816 bytes in size. Creation date is Friday, August
8,2003. I have searched the Microsoft Knowlegde Base and
get nothing. Can anyone tell me what this is, what it
belongs to, and do I need to have it?
 
To get rid of MSMGT.EXE, Start>RUN>msconfig. Find MSMGT.EXE, uncheck,
apply, and restart. Once system is up, go to c:\windows and find
MSMGT.EXE and delete. If it still won't let you delete, rename it and
then delete. Talked to a close programmer friend of mine and he seems
to think it's Spyware.
