msmsgs.exe /passportlogon /delaysync /shortpackets

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"
