HPMSGSVC.exe process

What is the process of HPMSGSVC.exe that runs at startup and is it necessary to run? What happens if I disable it at startup? Thank you.

Hello

The process belongs to HP Quick Launch Buttons (it provides functions such that holding down the fn key and pressing B to launch the Beats Audio interface) but is certainly not necessary if you want to disable.

If you do not want to turn off, press and hold the Windows key and press R.  For the run box, type msconfig and press ENTER.  In the next window, click the Startup tab, uncheck the box next to HP Quick Launch Buttons and then click on apply to apply the change.  Restart the computer for the change to take into account - you can always re-enable it in the future if you need.

Kind regards

  • Iexplore.exe process still running in the Task Manager

    I was see multiple iexplore.exe processes in the Task Manager when I'm not in IE, so to trouble shoot it I uninstalled IE, run several different scans/squared (which found nothing) and iexplore.exe is still appear in the Task Manager. I guess that it is some sort of virus since I uninstalled IE and it is always showing to run. No idea how to do the trick of it? I am running XP.

    IF IE 8 was present in the control panel > add or remove programs, then when you have uninstalled it from there, you have restored the previous version of Internet Explorer, in other words, IE 7.

    The best way to confirm this is to start IE and then click Help > topic.

    There is malware that disguises itself as iexplore.exe.  If you see iexplore.exe or Iexplore.exe in msconfig or in the Task Manager after Windows startup, but you did manually start Internet Explorer, you probably don't have a problem.
    What antivirus applications you scan with?

    If you haven't already done so, I suggest to do the following:

    Run a scan virus online with the eSet online scanner (may require a download if you are using a version of Internet Explorer)

    Download, install, update and run MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free)

    Download, install, update and run SUPERAntiSpyware

    You can uninstall all the latter after their use, if you wish.

  • I can't find the fix_svchost.bat file update. The svchost.exe process is spiking the CPU at 100% after the computer crashes.

    Original title: I can't find the fix_svchost.bat file update.

    I'm in you process of having my computer running faster. The svchost.exe process takes 100% of cpu memory and computer dthe freezes. A friend of mine told me a method to solve the problem, but I can't find the fix_svchost.bat update. I went to microsoft update center and don't find any results at all, and I don't know another place to look for. I think that the update does not even exist.

    I could send you a fix_svchost.bat file, but I don't think it's the starting point.

    What you need to do is run a few respectable scans for malware first, and then see if any of you are your svchost.exe process is still badly behave.

    Behind each of the svchost.exe process that see you in the Manager of tasks can be one or more process of XP you have to be running, but malware is KNOWN to imitate or hide behind a svchost.exe process, so you won't be able to see in Manager tasks.  You have to outsmart it.

    First yo should make a reasonable effort to eliminate malware, and then start troubleshooting - not the other way around.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    These comprehensive analyses can take some time, but you really need to run.  SAS will probably be just a bunch of Internet tracking cookies, but you can remove them.  Once you have done at least a full analysis, you can do quick scans in the future to save time and save the analyses complete for when you have more time or are really suspicious of an infection of the system.

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    In 1985, there were 11 known computer viruses.  Today, there are over 70,000 and new threats are detected every day.  Always update your virus definitions before running a scan.

  • My Windows XP SP3 system has a svchost.exe process that has started to use a good bit of CPU - 18 to 30% at idling.

    I've referenced KB 314056 to make a list of "tasks". There are 30 services running on this process.   FWIW, my wife's PC has the same services that runs under a svchost.exe process without a lot of CPU usage. How can I get figure out what service (s) is/is the use of the resource of CP?

    I found the culprit. I run Secunia PSI. The site is at www.secunia.com. When I stop this program the SVChost process falls to zero use. I run the same program on two other PC XP3 Windows without problem.

    I'll follow up with Secunia. Thanks to all who tried to help.

    Hi dude, on average

    A. from when what happens?

    B. recent changes made on your computer?

    C. you get any error message?

    First of all, I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall Norton using the Norton Utilities disk and check if the problem persists.

    Second, you may have to perform an auditor of the system files on your computer in order to replace the files corrupted on your computer.

    Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    Type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

  • Why my svchost.exe process constantly runs at 100% CPU usage?

    Recently, my computer was extremely slow.  I thought that was the cause of a worm or virus but after I used Norton to take care of that my system is still slow right too. When I checked my system process, its display svchost.exe using a massive amount of memory. Therefore, my CPU usage is constantly at 100%.  Is it still the result of a bug? Or do I have to look elsewhere as the source of the problem? Thank you

    It is possible that a recent update of Norton was faulty or caused one conflict with another program on the PC.

    Activity excessive svchost.exe is often linked to one of the following:

    1 resource hog like Norton or McAfee (sad but true)

    2 be linked in Microsoft Update instead of Windows Update

    3. after having been updated for Windows Search 4.0 and its endless reindexing

    4. the presence of malware

    Unless you have uninstalled Norton AND used their removal tool, I doubt you really deleted ALL occurrences of Norton!

    FWIW, I helped a neighbor recently with his performance problem. The culprit in his case was Windws Search 4.0. And since there is no entry in the Control Panel Add / Remove programs to KB940157, I needed to follow the instructions offered by Nepatsfan here:

Add/Remove Programs, or a deletion of file has been accepted.  How can this problem be controlled, any suggestions? Please respond to takis224 at yahoo, thank you

    Normally, helpsvc.exe shouldn't use all CPU resources, if you use actually help and support and not much even in this case.  It is possible, however, that you have a malware application using the same name.

    The correct helpsvc.exe must be placed in C:\Windows\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries.  The current version should be 5.1.2600.5997 and 727 KB in size.  If your helpsvc.exe is located in another directory or a different size, it is probably malware.  What is the real message of your Norton product?

    There was a problem with helpsvc.exe exhausting the resources of the computer, but that the problem was supposed to have been corrected in Service Pack 2 (and you have sp3, correct?). http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/839017

    If all else fails, you can disable using Windows:

    1. Start > run > services.msc > OK
    2. Scroll down to "Help and Support" and right-click on it and select Properties.
    3. Stop the service.
    4. Set the startup type to "Manual" (service starts when you click Help and Support) or 'off '.
    5. OK your way out.
