How to remove msiexecs exe virus ?

Question:

One of my computer is running Windows Vista. I can not run internet browser(iexplore.exe) and firefox.exe today, because firefox.exe was tricked to point to c:\windows\system32\msiexecs.exe.

I manually deleted msiexecs.exe, when I ran firefox ( D:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe), my laptop told me it could not find firefox or iexplore.exe not found. If I changed firefox.exe to firefox11.exe and firefox ran just fine.What is msiexecs.exe? How do I get rid of msiexecs.exe virus? How to remove msiexecs.exe without internet explorer or firefox was effected?

Answser:

Msiexec.exe (without the ‘s’) is a part of the Windows Installer component, which runs when your system installs new software, it is a legitimate Windows application. However, msiexecs.exe is not a legitimate software . So when the popup window came up for you to enter your administrator’s password to confirm running msiexecs.exe, please canceled it.In fact msiexecs.exe is a virus (adware or malware), it tricked your computer to not see firefox.exe (and iexplorer.exe). Even though the renamed firefox.exe(firefox111.exe) could works temporarily.
