This is new virus… Didn't have luck to remove it… Tried everything and nothing helps…
Symptoms are: it sends link in the middle of the conversation and spams sometimes my Mozzila Firefox tabs when i check mail in any kind of webmail server (opens 10-20 tabs with blank pages)… Links are similar to imageshack and rapidsheare… Thats why everyone is clicking… Pls help!

I foolishly clicked on a link sent to me through Messenger telling me that my friend could now be reached through “This” site..DUMB! right afterwards another friend informed me that my Messenger was sending her repeated messages and that it was obvious I had a virus. Arrrgh! I tried many virus scanners to no avail. I came upon this site and followed the above steps to a “T”.. Happy to announce that the pesky virus is no longer sending my friends dumb messages in my absence. It worked! Thank you for sharing!

Hi Lily,

It is likely your in an account which has limited access, so you need to log into an account that has administrator access.

Hi,

I have a similar problem.
The ’show hidden files and folders’ instructions don’t work for me because I can’t find Folder Options under Tools in Windows Explorer.
The msn virus has been sending me the same message about berry pills to a few of my friends (not all) and myself (I added myself on msn). I’ve realized they all originate from the same date and time: May 16, 5:59pm.
I’ve also tried changing my password for my account twice, but the messages continue to send.

What should I do?

I’m using slacky with pidgin and changing the password seems to have resolved the issue.

I’ve not had complaints from others about my account spamming them. Apparently it never has. Over time, have seen numerous FAKE MSN emails that want you to verify your account details and send them. I don’t fall for them, even the ones that try to look genuine. I do receive spam from others though that have never revealed their account details or passwords so i guess the virus/trojan was distributed to their PC from infected others and logged their passwords without filling any FAKE new MSN community box as described. I don’t know why it is if others treat their MSN accounts with integrity, why is it they are troubled and I’m not when they too wouldn’t fill out a fake box. It’s concerning that accounts are being accessed and there is millions of dollars worth to be found of personal details linking to sensitive information in emails stored on those accounts that are being being exploited. I’m amazed MSN has let this go for so long. Their servers are difinately unsecure. Use PoP email other if your concerned.
