 Wavemaster | Microsoft's WMDM PMSP Service, aka Windows Media Device Manager Pre-Message Security Protocol Service. This services enables Windows Media Player to support the SDMI protocol (Secure Digital Music Initiative) when copying CDs or packaging copyrighted downloaded music to SDMI compliant music players and storage devices. Recommendation : This process takes at least 1.2Mb of memory - you can disable it. Siehe auch: Link |
 Psychodonovan | This is pretty harmless and a part of Microsoft's Windows Media Player. However it occupies space in your memory and doesn't actually serve you the consumer in any way... Disabling it won't harm your system in anyway and will free up some RAM. So yes, disable it! |
 SelvaKumar.A | This is used to avoid (CD-Rom/DVD) piracy. Siehe auch: Link |
| A.SivaKumar | Belongs to Microsoft digital rights management system. All communication requests (copying, playing) between an application and the portable audio player must go through Windows Media Device Manager. Siehe auch: Link |
| Andrei Rouliakov | The most annoying thing about this service is that it is not uninstalled after you uninstall Windows Media Player 7? and just takes up space and memory. There is a built-in way to uninstall it though. Just type "mspmspsv -u" from the command prompt (without quotation marks) and follow the on-screen instructions. |
 Panchito | this file can be replaced by spyware |
| roemern | comes with a couple of other programs, too: basically it sneaks in with the windows media codecs |
| The Anti-Gates | check in Administrative Tools/Service and look for "WMDM PMSP Service", then you can disable it if you wish; pointless MS crap if you ask me. |
| meza | its a resource hog for those who dont need the service |
| Znapper | It used to be a Media Player 7 related Media Manager. but it dosnt belong in windows XP! i have had this file...and when you use the mspmspsv -u command it says that it is allready stopped! i think its spyware!! thats using the name of a file that we think is harmless! and that makes it dangerous! |
| SkidMark | Takes up RAM for no reason. |
 | anyone know how to tell the difference between spyware versions and real versions? |
| Kevin Mitnick | I just wanted to comment on Andrei's post. AWESOME WORK! It's posts like that which add value to these communities! THANKS. |
| Andrew Bowdle | This is the worst form of spyware... the kind that poses as a non-essential windows process. Disable this immediately, whether you think you use it or not. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO STOP IT, YOU MOST LIKELY HAVE A VIRUSED FILE! Disable it from starting up and that should solve the problem. |
| Koretek | Definately NOT spyware, its an optional users preference type file. |
 suestmarie | enables media player to support SDMI protocal when you copy CD or copyrighted downloads to SDMI compliants Siehe auch: Link |
| | Allows files to be transferred to your MP3 player! |
| WaR^ | This file should not be in Windows XP. If trying to shut it down gives errors u might have (had) spyware or a virus. If u see this file, check the System idle process aswell. Is it sending to the internet? Mine did to 162.40.179.87 and to another IP. |
| Tracccker178 | This file allso has an ADS file attached to it in Win XP. I dont know why but it seems a little strange. |
| johnnyb | worthless junk enabled along with other crap when I installed my Creative Nomad |
| Mike | well is it safe to delete the exe? |
| checkr2005 | mspmspsv.exe is a process which normally comes with a specific update of Windows Media player. It allows for the SDMI protocol (Secure Digital Music Initiative) to be used during dealing with music media. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference |
| Sven Dack | It should be disabled when not needed. Not only does a service consume memory but also they adds to the management overhead, can have security holes and in this particular case even function as a piece of spyware. |
| lb3a | I do not like any program that reports what i do to anyone without my permission |
| | it is a huge waste of RAM |
| nonam | risk service |
| | Very weird. It makes my PC to hang off... |
| Ru | This is DEFINITELY spyware on XP. |
| Kakaraky | Also comes with Creative MediaSource - distributed with the USB Soud Blasters. Recommendation: Disable service. |
| girlhead | takes up space |
| ZL33t | comes installed with sp1 but gets added as a service with the new wmp 10 updates..to remove..type "mspmspsv -u" in cmd then end process in task manager, then search for"mspmspsv.exe" in windows directory and delete the .exe and the prefech file by the same name..L8rZ Siehe auch: Link |
| SP79 | Can anyone tell me how to disable...and then if needed, enable. I'm really new at this, thanks for any info. |
| Mike. | Ib3a ... Then DO NOT use windows at all, as most of it reports something to someone ... its an icon based mouse driven video game. Try a real OS .. Debian is the way to go :) |
| | resides In system32 and non of what i uses this file. And iI know specifically what i use and when it's loaded. It's a virus . You can use Unlocker or Move on boot to delete it. i did and the charm came towards me again. |
| Clas | The Microsoft Security update KB917734 is supposed to cure a security issue related to the Windows Media Player and the program mspmspsv.exe. Unfortunately, the installation of the update gets stuck. Siehe auch: Link |
| REDflag | it is complete crap it effects nothing it causes crashes, if you have a computer running on anything newer then 98se then get rid of it! its not spyware technicly but it is a way to find un registerd media, so to protect yourself disable it in services and uninstall wmp7 use nero showtimewindows media is only good for porn so u realize it must suck Siehe auch: Link |
| Tony | W2K Server Processorrunning at 100% whilst service was running |
| | one of the many security risks to Microsoft Products that egt patched and patched... |
| Dan | After some in-depth analysis about why my Pc kept freezing (and needed to be switched on and off) with the Error code MACHINE CHECK : Regs, I found that each time it occured this damn service had just started. Consider it well and truely disabled ! |
| Simon Egginton (Site Administrator that discovered this piece of spyware) | Steals passwords from the user that logs on to www.e-chattie.com/forums, The file is called ECHATPW.EXE |
| pablo | i m sure it use my network connection. i have some problems my multiplayer games and i remove this file and solve the problem. it definitely spyware. |
| Gumby | Microsoft DRM. However, there is a trojan which goes by "mspmspv.exe" [note the 'pv' instead of 'psv'], the Chum-A trojan. |
| CaughtWMDMPMSP | Under Administrative Tools/Services, "WMDM PMSP Service" had no description where as all others did. Is this indicative of the virus form? It also likes to access my floppy drive, even without a disk in there. |
