    We found msmsgs.exe and another file
    tricklerid-1_trickler_4010.exe on a apparently
    compromised host. The host was relaying mail through
    18541/tcp which is the port msmsgs.exe was listening
    on (thanks fport).  I looked all over for somone with
    a similiar attack.  I'm thinking "bad guys" may using
    Microsoft Messenger like IRC to control hosts?  I sent
    msmsgs.exe into Symantec, no help there, message
    below.  
    
    Anyone seen something like this or familiar with what
    program would be "msmsgs.exe /passportlogon /delaysync
    /shortpackets"
