Hi!

At first I want to excuse me, but me English isn't very well.

My problem is that I seem to have received a virus or something via MSN-Messenger. I'm sending strange messages to all my friends consisting an order named "MyPhoto39". When this happens all my friend's windows are opening an MSN stops working correctly and I need to shut it down in order to use it again.
I can't prevent MSN from sending these strange messages and files, but I want to use the messenger again in future. I tried do delete MSN and installed it again, but the problem appeared once more.

So please, how can I fight this virus?

Read this guide i made about removing viruses.

Well its open now. Hope this helps

No, it doesn't. I followed every step, but the virus is still operating.

Here are some free anti-viruses that you can download (in no particular order).
Please note you should only have one resident anti-virus program

• Avast! home edition
  
• Avira AntiVir
  
• AVG

Or try either of these free online scanners

• Trend Micro House Call  <--- I recommend House-call
  
• Microsoft Online Safety Scanner
  
• Yahoo Security Centre
  
• F-Secure online scanner
  
• McAffee free tools

• You can also try Anti-Spyware programs like
  
• AVG Anti-Spyware
  
• Ad-Aware
  
• Windows Defender

All are Free.

Remember the best virus defence is common sense and always check with your contact!

Search the forums!

Do you have an anti-virus scanner? If not download a full program from the first list. If you do have an anti-virus update then run it or use from the second list.

A combination of 2 programs from the third list and 1 from the top list should be sufficient to remove the virus and protect the computer in the future.

I accually had the virus myself and it seemed to disaper after some basic virus scans, i wouldn't worry about it, even though it is very anouying.

Yes some of the viruses actually do seem to magically disappear without a trace but I hardly believe that is the case. It's likely if it disappeared like that it would've left some sort of footprint behind still causing subtle damage.
