On msn at the moment there seems to be this virus going around - I recieved a message from a friend and STUPIDLY never checked it and when the link, which was: "http://oliphotos.ol.funpic.org/index.php?pic2038.jpg" saved to my computer and loaded, it opened conversations with everyone on my MSN contact list that was online, giving them this message aswell. My msn went out of control! and now its happening everytime I sign in! Does anybody know how I can stop this, I've restarted my computer on safe mode, and reinstalled my MSN BUT ITS NOT WORKING! I'm really annoyed because I desperately need to talk to someone on there but this virus is making it impossible to do so!!!

If you have a antivirus program, I suggest that you shut the program down or remove an install the free "AOL", powered by Kaspersky Labs. This program will scan your MSN, mail and your MSN Messenger and removed the virus. The key that will be sent to you is good for life.

do a restore on your system. go to start, all programs, accessories, system tools then system restore, take the computer back a day or two before you got this email. make sure you do a virus check once you have done this too. it is safe to do, i do it with my pc all the time.
