Popped the keyword "smsx.exe" into google.com and found a truck-load of
information pertaining to this.  Checkout this URL:

If this is what I believe it to be, someone is attempting to access/download
software via your system.

| Anyone familiar with smsx.exe?  It normally starts up with windows and is
found in my
| c:\\winnt\system32\ folder but I've since diabled it until I know what it is.
Since my
| computer has been acting slow in the last few hours, I decided to troubleshoot
the
| problem and this is the only thing I've found that looks odd.  I can't find it
on the web or
| at Symantec website either so just wondering.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
