Hi,
it seems that I got a virus to my msn, which I can't get rid off. My friends
are starting to block my msn. I have scanned my computer for viruses several
times and it didn't find anything. It seems, that the virus is automaticly
send to my msn contacts through messenger and looks like a zipped file.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Greetings,

Although most of these Messenger viruses can be removed pretty fast by simply looking for the
erroneous odd-looking executable running, if you're not able to do that, I'd recommend you
run the OneCare Live Safety Scanner:
