The SoftModem Assistant is a program installed as part of Agere's SoftModem software, to permit complete configuration of soft modem devices. So-called ""soft modems"" are ones where some of the processing necessary to use the modem is done not by the modem hardware but by a program such as SoftModem. Thus, this program is necessary if you use such a device. 

If you want a detailed security rating about your AGRSMMSG.exe (and all other running background processes) read the following user opinions, and download the free trial version of Security Task Manager.

Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out!
