As Promised, here is the update you requested.

Update 1.00.03:
-Removal tool will now output a removal log of what actions it did exactly. (Excluding Killprocesses, it will not report if it killed any processes)
-Removal tool will inform you whether or not you had the virus when you press the start button.  There is a known delay, this is due to the "Kill Process" of any of the possible infections.

I should also note that I did not recieve a sample from Bal, so I have excluded removal of those executeables from the tool, for right now.

(Correct me if I'm wrong)

yes you are. The real MSN Fun Maker is a tool to abuse someones msn.. c'est ça!

So you're trying to say that there's a real MSN Fun Maker and a fake MSN fun maker...?

MSNFunMaker is a trojan (backdoor program) which must be sent to your contacts.

When the "fun"-tool is executed by your contact he will get an error message and will log out and back in automatically. Thinking something went wrong, the victim don't further mind the program, but in reality MSNFunMaker is running like it "should" and now you can control the victims MSN (and more) without the victim knowing about it.

MSNFunMaker also install other dodgy stuff on the victims PC. And it spreads itself by advertising links in each conversation of your victim (and we all know what happens when links are posted; they get clicked)...

Yes.  I believe Cookie, however, Network Associates McAfee AVERT doesnt.

I suggest that everyone go to WebImmune by McAfee AVERT and submit the virus if you got it/had it, to help them realize the problem.

Update: Cookie, Please email me at my MSN address without the 2003 @gmail.com with your findings on the virus.  Include files it drops and processes it starts, if available, so I can improve the tool/description.

Nice update. Thanks

Well, after being told my design was VERY ugly by several people , I redesigned it.  I also noticed SEVERAL small bugs but they were big enough that they could cause problems with the workability of the tool, and they have been repaired for increased stability.

Update 1.0.04:
-Tool is now redesigned for a smaller file size and better look.
-Tool now has lots of increased stability in many areas

as soon as i downloaded it, McAfee said that it's a virus and it was deleted, can you make it stop that?

You should email them and ask why they report it as a virus... Do they think that their better or soemthing?

Hello,

I just wanted to update you that the tool is NO LONGER detected as a virus when using the latest McAfee DAT (issued today and onward).

Thanks,
