| This is the session manager subsystem, which is responsible for starting the user session. This process is initiated by the system thread and is responsible for various activities, including launching the Winlogon and Win32 (Csrss.exe) processes and setting system variables. After it has launched these processes, it waits for either Winlogon or Csrss to end. If this happens "normally," the system shuts down; if it happens unexpectedly, Smss.exe causes the system to stop responding (hang).

| This is Window's Session Manager Subsystem and should not be terminated or disabled. It does NOT use the network and runs in the background. There are cases where this applet can be infected.

| This is ok as long as it's in the win32 folder. the SMSS.exe file is always located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. If you find that there is an smss.exe located in another folder, then be aware that it is probably malware More information

| El archivo "smss.exe" es el cliente de IRC que se conecta a un servidor por el puerto 6667.
Los demás son archivos usados por el troyano, pero no poseen código malicioso, y por lo tanto no suelen ser detectados por los antivirus.
El troyano crea la siguiente entrada en el registro para autoejecutarse en próximos reinicios de Windows:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
SMSS = c:\windows\system32\catroot\msa\smss.exe
Una vez en memoria, el troyano realiza las siguientes acciones:
1. Intenta conectarse a un servidor de IRC por el puerto 6667 y queda a la espera de comandos.
2. Intenta lanzar el archivo "vlxd.exe" en forma remota a través de recursos compartidos en red. Se utiliza para ello una herramienta legítima, "psexec.exe". Esta herramienta es conocida como "PsExec".
Antes, el archivo "smss.exe" es copiado en la computadora remota.
El troyano intenta una combinación de nombres de usuarios y contraseñas para acceder a las máquinas remotas. More information

| people on this forum in general need to start giving info other than good/bad - is it possible, for instance, to change the priority? provided you don't mind waiting a bit longer when your computer hangs - putting this proess on "low" should be fine.
