Hello - I am having a problem with a program called smtogmsg.exe. I have OnceCare Anti-Virus and Windows Defender (both by Microsoft in Beta) installed and the OneCare firewall keeps poping up asking me if I want to block smtogmsg.exe from accessing the internet. I have done a search on the internet withouth any success, there is nothing at all on it. It says it is located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, but when I go to that directory there is nothing there, I did do a search on my computer and I found it in C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch and the file name in that directory is SMTOGMSG.EXE-261FF95F.pf. I am not sure if I should allow to access the internert since I cannot find any information on it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

In order for anyone to know if it's malware related you'll need to download HijackThis, and then post your log here.

A qualified person will analyze your log telling you if you're infected and how to remove it.
Complexity of incoherent design.
