By the way, I did find this additional info regarding smsx.exe:
If you colocate server(s) running Microsoft Windows please take immediate
action on this notice.
A trojan (hidden, malicious code) has appeared on the Internet, and has been
found on servers. It is called "SMSX.EXE" and if your machine is infected, it
will most likely show up in your "SYSTEM32" directory. This program is designed
to send spam, specifically to mobile phones via text messaging systems. It also
can be used to generate "smurf" attacks, and syn & udp floods.
Note: A firewall is NO guarantee that you are protected. Many
vulnerabilities are accessible via firewall-allowed ports. Please check your
Microsoft Windows systems, even if they are
firewall-protected.
