I keep getting this pop-up: Your buddy has a new Buddy Icon. Take a look! http://buddies.funbuddyicons.com
@[fwpscript]Icon:none@[/fwpscript]

is that a messenger virus?

Its not a virus. It hides those messages so there not irritating to the user. It lets you show these cruddy animated dps with these little blue midgets in them.

"My Web Search"... lovely ;)

Get your friend to run ad-aware after uninstalling that. If she's that good at installing spyware then I would be surprised if she doesn't have any more..


as Moria posted there...'My Web Search' :dodgy:!!
