I've recently discovered msthost.exe running in my processes on Win xp home upgrade. upgraded from win 98 se.
After alot of googling, and mostly, alot of help from a certain tech forum I won't mention the name of cuz it seems to cause problems with forum admins hehe..
msthost.exe attempts to access the internet from my computer an average of 50 times an hour. I know this because I have installed a firewall that catalogues the IP adress it was attemting to connect to. Googling the ip adress brought up IRC related pages. Which is why i'm here. I was hoping one of you could possibly identify this running process for me. Tell me what its doing and why. maybe tell me if i need it or not. If the admins wanna take a closer look at whats going on, I have a hijackthis logfile and the ip msthost.exe is trying to connect to. Just let me know if you would like to see the information I have available.
