Have recently had msxmidi trying to get access to the Internet when going online. I have found 2 files – msxmidi.exe and MSXmidi.exe-113A7180.pf. in my Win directory. I assume these are highjacking attempts and fortunately my firewall picks them up each time so I can deny access. I have deleted the .pf file but couldn’t get rid of the msxmidi file. Someone redirected me to Blue Penguin and said is the best. I downloaded the removal tool and I realized it is the best indeed.
MsxMidi is responsible for home page hijacking, pop-up and in-browser advertising, unwanted toolbars, and general browser and system instability. It is great that SpyZooka removed this problem after the first scan.
I have been having problems with Mozilla Firefox crashing each time I try to click on a link. I installed SpyZooka and it found this TrojanDropper.Win32.Small.cw and removed it. I’m now keeping my fingers crossed that it is gone for good 🙂
