I am told that msnupdate.exe is malware by one person and that it is one normal program by another. Who is this?

I'm sorry, I'm confused.  Syed says that this program is a normal update, but Michael Murphy said that it is Malware.  Who is this?

Thank you.

original title: msnupdate.exe

Hello

The people who create malware are 'smart' in a sense that they often give their name of "productions" that may be taken of actual file.

Many users have a file legitimate msnupdate.exe.

Search for viruses and malware, if the file is not running is probably a legitimate file.

PS Some occasional people who give answers in the forums know the correct answer from personal experience. They Bing or Google the subject and then cut and paste what comes up first in the search. Sometimes it's evil, or just a partial answer.

Using Bing or Google is a good tool if one is patient and competent to know the right answer and just looking for a quick note.

  • I was told that adobe Edge is available for free download.  Is this true?

    I need this program for a college course and the professor said that it was a free download.  All I could find is a test/preview version.

    Edge Code CC is available in the free level of the Adobe Creative cloud. The software is still considered to be a 'Preview', but there is no limit of time on it.

    In addition, edge Code CC is a rebranding of media (http://brackets.io), which is a project open source is free. Media is updated more frequently as Edge Code CC, then you might want to try.

  • How to disconnect from creative cloud Adobe on a pc so that I can re - install programs on another? (I already use one login at work)

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how I can re - install the Adobe programs on my new laptop at home? I know that we're allowed 2 installs, so I use one at work and one at home. Thank you!

    You can connect to https://creative.adobe.com/products and download the app CC, while it contains access to install it your authorized to.

    If you mean you want to install on another computer at home, which would be a third install, the second on a computer at home and one at work, simply login to Office CC of the older the home computer, and when you connect to CC Desktop on the third computer it will ask you to turn it off on the other two.  To do this, then do not connect to CC Desktop on another computer that you intend to use CC on, that would work.

    Hello

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
    the cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  • I get a message from msnupdate.exe

    I get a message from msnupdate.exe, and when I click on it it says that it is a program not identified, in order to cancel it. I did some research and news is mixed is this a virus? I ran the Norton security, Malwarebytes and superanti spyware and they find nothing. I tried to find the download free skybot but I'm not sure to find the right one. Help, please.

    Hi Alexis570,

    Step 1:

    MSNUpdate.exe is part of the process of automatic update MSN. This indicates that the latest version of MSN has finished downloading and is waiting to complete the installation. It is quite persistent and ask permission whenever you exit MSN.

  • MSNUpdate.exe

    Whenever I have connect or log on my MSN explorer (today), I get a pop up asking permission to install msnupdate.exe.  The Publisher is listed as not being identified.  Considering that I was faced with a virus, a few days ago, I am very wary of the instance.  Is it a play update?  If it is not... How to stop?

    Advice would be appreciated.

  • iPad, Safari froze and was told that I had to call apple for support assistance.

    My iPad Safari froze and was told that I had to call apple for support assistance.  I called and gave the last four digits of my serial number of the iPad.  They wanted me to download app and pay money, but it felt weird, so I hung up. Am I or my systems compromised in any way by calling and giving the serial number or hang up in time that nothing should be affected?

    Do this...

    Tap Settings > Safari and then slide down and tap clear history & data website, then reboot your iPad.

    The number they gave you is not Apple.

    Never give any personal data abroad on the net, including serial numbers.

  • Is there a way to know what makes a noise of grinding on my lap? I was told that my sound card driver may be able

    Sound card:

    Analog Devices, Inc.

    Model: SoundMax Digital Audio Intergrated

    Driver: smwdm.sys

    Updated: February 17, 2012

    Video card:

    NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500

    Pilot: nv4_mini.sys

    No upgrade

    I recently did the upgrade of the driver of the Doc and found things that I didn't exist on my computer, which was given to me by my nephew.  He turns quiet and really did not have any complaints until after that I did the upgrade of the driver of the Doc.  Now, that sounds like a grinding machine.  I was told that when I talked about Facebook, I need to update my sound card driver.  I did a search to see what it means, but I am not prepared to do right now.  Can someone reassure me that it will be an easy fix?

    Could be a problem of fan cooling, remove the side cover of the tower and see if you can see or hear the sound is coming from.

    My advice would be the same. Certainly, it looks like a fan at the origin of the problem. Fans get older they intermittently can make noise. This would explain why you hear sometimes and not others.

    Furthermore, to see if your sound card, causing the noise (which I doubt), just turn off all your speakers when you hear the noise. If the sound stops immediately, it's actually a sound card related question.

    There are often several fans inside the computer.  There will be one which is part of the power supply. Sometimes one or more attached to the casing of the computer itself (usually the Panel that you remove the first and one on the front of the case.)  There will probably be one on top of the CPU (central processing unit), as well as on the video card.

    Not recommended advice (which I did before) - gently tap on the center of the fan that you suspect is making noise. Jiggleling it will sometimes make noise to stop. In this case, you know which fan needs to be replaced.

    Even worse advice (which I also done before) - take a small piece of wood (for example, a 1/4-inch dowel rod) and insert slowly into the fan to keep it from turning. If the noise stops, you have found the fan that needs to be replaced. Remove the stick to regularize quickly because he will always try to run and we don't want it burn.

    If you can't find that a fan is causing trouble you want to replace as soon as possible because it will eventually stop working and cause one or more components in your computer to overheat.
