O.P. Virus?
I use a mac but my friend is on a windows laptop.  Everytime I chat with her on Messenger, a link is sent to me instead of what she is typing>

Any ideas what I should get her to do.  She has deleted her messenger program and re-installed. 

As my name implies, I am not very knowledgeable, so any help gratefully received

RE: Virus?
First make sure there are no viruses on her PC. Run a good virusscanner.

Once the PC is clean, have her change her password and secret question on http://account.live.com/.

You might want to remove that link so others don't accidentally click it and get into trouble.
Finish the problem

Thanks for your response.

She has McAfee, which she has already run.

I have suggested changing password etc.
