A google search turns up some interesting stuff including the following:
"smsx.exe is not the Microsoft SMS product, it is probably this:
http://www.superbank.ru/sms/
If you look at the bottom of the features page of this product, it is
designed to send lots of SMS messages to hand help devices.

Your would be attacker is trying to get your machine to download software
to send short messages to hand held devices. I have received a couple
pieces of spam on my cell phone lately, so I am sensitive to this. Your
would-be attacker's motives may be different."
It looks like malware to me!!
Cheers
