RE: Msn/Hotmail virus
Format your pc. Easiest way to do this is using the restore cd if one came with your pc, or install windows manually. Just be aware this will delete every file on the pc, so backup any files like documents and picures you want to keep extrnally like on a cd. After the pc is re-installed make sure you get all the updates from Windows Update. After that, change your password/question again.

Also be careful where you login. Any other PC you use to login could possibly be infected too, especially when you are not the only person to use the machine you can never be sure if it is clean of viruses and keyloggers. Never enter your Messenger password on websites either no matter what they claim to be. Many of the Messenger related sites which ask you to login like webmessengers, blockcheckers and things which sound too good to be true are actually scams to steal your passwords.
Finish the problem
