Scarecrow Man Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 msmsgs.exe is Windows Messenger. msnmsgr.exe is MSN Messenger.both files are safe, but best to post a HijackThis log.BTW, Windows Messenger does not show up in add/remove programs. It is in add/remove windows components under add/remove programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
