Has anyone ever gotten and error message that looked like this?

The Error

It gives me this message why my computer starts up. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this. Thanks

Have you ran a basic spyware/adware/virus check on your computer and ran something that would repair the registry, I would say to try that first and if that doesn't work let me know.

either there was a msg.exe file in your windows dir. and it got deleted.. or you tried to use the start->run feature, but you made a typo?

maybe someone can u/l that file onto the web and let you d/l it.. but i dont know if that will work.

I have run an adware and virus check and I got a program to check the registry but still no luck. I rarely use the start -> run feature so i don't think its that. I've tried to look for that file but couldn't find it.

i say download that file again and then put it back in your windows folder

Hmm... maybe go to start->run and type msconfig ( I THINK ) and look at like the startup tab and disable the msg.exe program that is popping up. I'm not positive on all of this, it is all from memory since I don't have a machine running windows anymore.

MAXX: I've tried looking for the file but can't find it.

austen: I couldn't find it in my msconfig.

By the way the file is called mgs.exe and not msg.exe

dunno if thats of any use but if you read it does state:

When executed, Win32.Trykid variants copy themselves to the %System% or %Windows% directories with a filename that varies according to variant. CA has received reports of Trykid variants using the following filenames in the wild:

svcmgr32.exe
msiexec.exe
userint32.exe
mgs.exe
svchost.exe
find.exe
msaccrt.exe

Run hijackthis and post your log at http://makephpbb.com...m=vitalsecurity lots of other forums that will read them just found that quickly.


Also type mgs.exe into Google brings up a heap of stuff on that.

Neither of my PC's have this file and I have never seen that ever.

the file should be in the windows/system32 folder. well, thats where mine is located.
