Hd two pc's within a week of each other start freezing up. One was from this MsPMSPSv.exe process. disabled it and it stopped freezing after boot. the second maching did not have this file but found that i was freezing the same way right after booting up becuase of a similar WMplayer process called Windows Media Player Network Sharing service and the executable namesed WMPNetwk.exe. Disabled this process from starting on the 2nd pc and all is well with no freezing up. Anyne know if U uninstall MS update KB917734 WMP is for just the 1st one or will it uninstall other needed security patches

mspmspsv.exe Media Player Very very very commonly taken over by spyware / malware

In researching problems with ActiveSync not starting up automatically, I checked running processes. After reading this blog I disabled MSPMSPSV.exe and my ActiveSync suddenly initiated and synchronized successfully. Hmmmm....

Spyware! When I deleted it from the registry in regedit it came back again. And when I stopped and disabled it in 'Computer Management' I got this new spyware: CmdLineExt02.dll

mspmspsv.exe is a process which normally comes with a specific update of Windows Media player. It allows for the SDMI protocol (Secure Digital Music Initiative) to be used during dealing with music media. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling it is down to user preference.

Under Administrative Tools/Services, "WMDM PMSP Service" had no description where as all others did. Is this indicative of the virus form? It also likes to access my floppy drive, even without a disk in there.
