Hi All
I keep getting a dialogue box popping up saying that "msagentXP.exe is trying to connect to the internet"
Is this a Trojan and if so how do I get rid of it. I'm on dial up and using Win XP Home.
Cheers
Mike

Msagentxp.exe is Trojan/Backdoor.
Kill the process msagentxp.exe and remove msagentxp.exe from Windows startup using MSCONFIG from start > Run.
Then delete the file its normally here: C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSAgentXP.exe

Hope this helps

Hi,
This is one of a hugh number of files that cannot be classified. See:
http://www.fileresearchcenter.com/J/JAZR.EXE-5024.html

Another answer gave you the pathway to the file to delete it. If you don't know how to find the path, then just go to Start/Search, and type in the full file name to search. Then, when it finds it, Right click on it, then Left click on Delete.
I would also run an AntiVirus scan in Safe Mode. Then, run your spyware scans with whatever you are using.
Here are some suggestions on some free program, and how to run them:
If you think you already have Spyware/Advertising Ware in your computer, run these as follows:

AdAware at:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com
Download: AdAware_SE V 1.06

CWShredder at:
http://www.trendmicro.com/cwshredder/
Click on the "Remove CoolWeb Search" button to download

Both of the above programs run better and much faster when run in SafeMode.

To get into SafeMode:
Re-boot the computer, and immediately after starting up, Press and hold down, F8, at top of keypad.
When the options show on the screen, use the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard to select
"Safe Mode".
Press Enter

It's best to run the AdAware scan first; 3 times; then re-boot.
Then, run the AdAware scan again 3 times. Then, run CWShredder.
Re- Boot.
Reason for running so many times:
Some of these trojans' files can be deleted the first time; leaving some others; but on re-boot, they re-write the files that were deleted.
Running multiple times deletes most of it the first
Time.

If you wish to have a great program, after you clean out Spyware/Advertising Ware:
This program stops this stuff from getting into the computer in the first place, by placing URL's in the browser, stopping them instantly. One of the Very Best free programs anyone can download!

SpyWare Blaster 3.4

I do wish you the best, and hopefully, your computer will stay clean of Spyware. A program like the SpyWare Blaster keeps out stuff like this, before it even gets into the computer.
