Someone sent me a virus on msn and even though i have tried to delete it with norton anti virus, it comes back up again the next day. When i do the virus scan, my msn works fine. but the next day, the same problem occurs. my msn starts sending contacts random msgs.
how do i solve this problem once and for all?
is there some way in which the virus can get deleted from my computer. when i try and search for the virus on the computer search, it says the file doesnt exist so i cant personally delete the virus.

(1) Get you self a good antivirus or a free one .
(2) If you have not already scanned your comp with spybot do that now .
(3) Do an online virus scan to check if you still have any other viruses in your computer. And let us know if the online virus scan still finds any virus or spyware .
If the above steps do not remove the hijack then you would need to
(4) Download hijackthis
(5) Post the hijackthis log on the hijackthis forum for the hijackthis experts to take a look
6) Install and use firefox while browsing

XP - do a system restore to a day earlier than the day the virus attacked. Your data will remain intact.

download spybot, restart computer into safemode, run spybot a few times, reboot into regular mode, should do it!
