Hello Stephen

Information on mmx.exe can be found here :

http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=120

If you decide you want to remove this I suggest you look in add/remove in
control panel. If its not there you could try running regedit and do a search
for each occurrence of mmx.exe in your registry and then delete each occurrence.
If you want to do this I suggest you backup the registry first.

Regards

Mike
