msimn.exe
msimn.exe is the primary process for Microsoft Outlook Express email program. Usually, msimn.exe will be open in your taskbar even if you are not using Outlook Express at the moment, as it is a default Windows process.
You can usually find msimn.exe in C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\ . If you can locate it anywhere else, there is a possibility that your computer has been infected by spyware.
Many spyware parasites use duplicate msimn.exe processes to confuse users into believing that those spyware processes are legitimate. Others use processes that are similar in name or intentionally misspelled for the same purpose. This makes manual spyware removal nearly impossible for casual users, which means that automatic spyware removal tools must be used in order to cure an infected system from spyware threats.
