RE: Really annoyed now - Problem with Messenger
You fell victim of the Bropia virus (or one of its variants).

Simply uninstalling and removing the Messenger directory will not remove the virus.

Restart your computer in Safe Mode (very very important!!!) and do a full system scan with a decent anti-virus program.

A very few out of the many threads which already exist on this forum about this:
Scary thing!!!!!!!!! HELP!!! <= important thread. But it's been deleted... request has been made to restore it, if possible that is
...
ROFL Virus
new virus?
!!Virus!!



Also, no offense, but:

It is randomly placing such links on the net which quite often spread virusses. This will not happen directly but indirectly as people are getting used to posted/spammed links and don't think twice before they click on it (this is exactly how you got the virus too)...
