    Hi,

    Does anyone know what the "MSN Task Processor" is, or what it is for?

    It's been popping up on my Zone Alarm.

    I tried doing a search on Google but couldn't find anything on it.

    Thanks.

    Hi jslow,
    Details may help. Does this have a file *.exe name? A path? Where are you seeing this (not knowing for sure if it is a listed process in taskmanger)?

    Hi Goddez1,

    It's an alert I get from Zone Alarm asking permission to access the internet.

    When I check this in Zone Alarm Program Control I get:
    Product Name: MSN Toolbar
    File Name: C:\Program Files\MSN\Toolbar\3.0.0311.0
    Last Policy Update: Not Applicable
    Version: 3.0.311.0
    Last Modified Date: 6/3/2008 16:17:52

    Thanks

    I know it is called an MSN toolbar, but what is it for or what does it do?

    It just started popping up as a Zone Alarm alert in the last few days. I never had it on my computer before.

    The info I noted in my last post indicates where it is located. Can I delete it to get rid of it.
