The msmonk32 application appears to have been created for
about one day ago. It was running all the times sending
data out from my computer while I am connected to the
internet. I detected the application after I installed a
firewall. Are the anyone who has encountered the same
problem? or what is msmonk32's function if it is authentic?

Hello,

The msmonk32.exe and msmsgri32.exe files are not Windows system files.
They both are created by the virus itself. The virus W32.Randex.C and
W32.Randex.D can create these files. For more information about the two
virus, please refer to the following information:

1. W32.Randex.C

2. W32.Randex.D
