You're welcome. Glad it turned out not to be malware.

Thanks, that was the information that I found as well. Most of the data
said
that it was a worm spread across AOL, which I don't have and haven't
received
any communication from AOL customers. But, thankfully, in the time since
I
posted my question and your reply I was able to find the culprit. The exe
doesn't reside in the Windows folder, which is good. It turns out that it
is
a utility prog for a rarely used, networked image scanner. Thanks for
your
very prompt reply, though. I truely do appreciate it.

I was looking through my task manager today and saw a few processes
that I didn't recognize. Most of them I was able to identify with a
little investigation. However, I have not been able to find a
satisfactory explaination for a process called MGS.exe. Can someone
tell me what this is and why it is a running process on my computer?
Thanks.
