Extremely odd behavior

Virus? Malware?
CoX certainly does not launch anything of the sort on my machines.
I suspect you have issues on your box that are only tangentially related to CoX.
GL.
Do you ever use MSMessenger? If you are like most folks you probably might use Yahoo, Skype or AIM. Would you consider uninstalling or disabling it to see if that helps?
It sounds more like the possibility of a 'hotkey' of some kind that is triggered when you play CoH. If you can, get into MSMessenger and look at the preferences and see what's there. Good luck, and let us know if you solved it.

Why is City of Heroes launching MSMSGS.EXE?
There is no reason for City of Heroes to launch Microsoft Messenger, Microsoft's instant messaging client. This is NOT the Messenger network service, nor is it needed in any way for City of Heroes.
But invariably, at some point during the night, City of Heroes launches MSN Messenger.
It doesn't show up on my screen, only when I pull up Task Manager. And it makes me think that THIS behavior is part of what's behind my constant mapservers, bandwidth issues, etc. for the last three days.
