External information from Paul Collins:

"MAD.EXE" must run at start up. MAD.exe is the MS Exchange 5.5 System Attendant and can also consume a large amount of resources - resolved by the latest Exchange 5.5 Service Pack. Also part of Exchange 2000 Server but does it have the same problems?. Apparently you need to leave this running but is it needed at start-up?

Important: Some malware camouflage themselves as mad.exe, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Thus check the mad.exe process on your pc whether it is pest. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. It is one of the Top Download Picks of 2005 of The Washington Post and PC World.
