One more question; I leave my computer on overnight for a variety of reasons. It's quite often for it to do 24 hour+ operation. But it seems to have a crash that causes it to become unresponsive. Sometimes I'll come home or wake up and turn on the monitor to find it restarted and has a 'non-system disk or disk error' message going for me. Other times, I'll notice incredibly sluggish repsonsiveness, and when I check the current processes, msmsgs.exe is taking 90%+ cpu... First off. I hate msn messenger, in all forms. Including the little default one that comes with windows. Secondly, I am wondering if it could be replaced or altered with anything malicious. Because that and ccapp.exe are always the first things having problems.
Do you think this could be an issue? Do you know a way to get rid of msmsg.exe? I use office, but I would really like that messenger gone.
Thanks again!

Yes; msmsgs.exe, sorry for the confusion there. Thanks for the assist. CCapp.exe sound familiar to you?

Ok good. CCapp.exe belongs to your Norton Antivirus. It is responsible for the auto-protect and email checking facilities.

That was really helpful, I really appreciate the link with so much info; it was very convenient having all of the info and the little 'what ifs' already answered. Thanks! There is still a bit of a problem though...
I have msmsgs.exe listed in my processes still; which is causing me a growing concern. I did the registry trick for 4.5 or later to get it off, and it's still running.... I even went through the trouble of uninstalling windows messenger through windows components...... My fear here has been that I might be looking at a trojan disguised as msmsgs; and now that I've disabled and unsinstalled it; yet still see it running, I am getting really concerned that I have a big problem here...
Any suggestions?
Edit:
It seems to be gone now that I've done the reg clean with ccleaner. Thanks!

Well; it seems to come back on restart. And I don't know why..... But it really shouldn't be.

Well; for some reason that link doesn't seem to work anymore;
-I did the registry removal, by adding it specifically to NOT be run at startup.
-I went through add/remove programs, clicked under windows components and actually uninstalled it.
I ran Ccleaner on my registry as well (That took a bit of a while, wow.) So that element is all clean, HijackThis still has the same log a when I last posted it. So, having uninstalled windows messenger (msmsgs.exe) I am growing very concerned as to how it is still running, and how legitimate this process is...

Thanks; I will run that ASAP when I get home; does this sort of difficulty happen often?

I wouldn't count this as a difficulty yet :)
When you're ready, please let me know if it is gone now...

Thank God. It's finally gone. All is clean now; I went around and found instructions to disable Creative's stupid startup video; and now my computer is how it should be.
That should be all I need, I really do wish to thank you a lot. You have been more helpful than you can imagine.
