I'm afraid that there are many virus' going around msn messenger, all that you can do really is decline anything that is dodgy that comes through, this is usually small.exe's and .pif's... they're all dodgy...

If its the funny.exe then heres some information:

What is it?
funny.exe is a file associated with the w32.funner worm.

What does is do?
W32.Funner is a worm that spreads using Microsoft's Windows Messenger
instant message program and modifies the hosts file.

When W32.Funner is executed, it performs the following actions:

  1. Copies itself as:
         * %System%\IEXPLORE.EXE
         * %System%\EXPLORE.EXE
         * %Windir%\rundll32.exe
         * %System%\userinit32.exe
         * c:\funny.exe

           and executes the first three files listed.

           Notes:
         * The three files make sure that the other two are running
and will restart them if any are stopped.
         * These files require the MSVBVM60.DLL file, which is a
component of the Microsoft Visual Basic run-time environment.
         * %System% is a variable that refers to the System folder.
By default this is C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me),
C:\Winnt\System32 (Windows NT/2000), or C:\Windows\System32 (Windows
XP).
         * %Windir% is a variable that refers to the Windows
installation folder. By default, this is C:\Windows or C:\Winnt.
  2. Creates a log file named %System%\bsfirst2.log.
  3. Adds the value:

     "Userinit"="userinit32.exe,"

     to the registry key:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

     so that the userinit32.exe runs when you start Windows.

Instructions on removal can be found at the Norton antivirus website:
