spyware by doblica on 04-17-2009 at 01:19 AM
so I havent pressed anything allowed or nothing. My computer was suddenly starting to slow down, then it asked me to restart my pc because of new updates supposed to be installed. When i restarted it and tried Windows Messenger. There was a new look.
I have also got some popup "windows live today" really annoying. I dont know is that some spyware connected with MSN? How can I get rid off that. Is it possible I just got infected by this stuff from something else?

It is only Windows Live Messenger 8.1, not Windows Messenger, don't worry... (by the way, somebody could've clicked it and you didn't see...)

Anyway I have restarted MSN and it suddenly disappeared. I am using MSN live messenger for a long time and this is just the first time I see something like that, so I was a bit worried.
