msdxmf.exe using up CPU
Hi, I'm running XP SP3 on snow leopard. Since the latest update a file named msdxmf.exe takes up more than 90% of my processor even though the system is idle. I have searched around but have not found what this file does. If anyone has any clue I would appreciate it.

Right click on the file and left click on properties. What doe sit say about the file?
I would suspect a virus if it was on my system.

Hi, I forgot to mention that I can only see this file as a process through the task manager. I searched the disk for this file but no luck.

I would get myself a good virus scanner and run it on the guest. Something just does not add up. You could be hosting some really nasty stuff.
