There is always viruses and trojans spreading over the msn network. Most new ones are the problems and you should tell you friends to scan their computers with an anti virus.

When the trojan is removed the messages will stop. Until then you may have to block them if the messages are annoying you.

Thank you for your reply High Speed Chaser!

Do you have a solution for that as now I'm using the CyberScub Privacy Suite software to delete the file they sent Seee whether it will happen again..

If you have a solution please reply ! TQ

Did you save the file?

If you do have the trojan, deleting it wont stop your friend's computers from sending those messages, they have to use an anti-virus themselves.

Just to make things clearer what do you want the solution for?

Do you mean they have scanned their computer and the virus hasn't been found?

If so try either of
  1. Trend Micro House Call
  2. Microsoft Online Safety Scanner
  3. Yahoo Security Centre
    [/list]

    Use in order of appearance

CookieRevised's reply to Windows Live Messenger BIG PROBLEM! Might work to help remove the virus.

Isn't that the solution for connection problems, not a virus?
RE: RE: MSM Live Messenger spreading VIRUS! by Cloudly on 07-23-2007 at 01:41 PM

If you have downloaded the file. try the Free online virus scan and removals'  High Speed Chaser linked you to, and try running a full system scan with your personal Anti-Virus to. if nothing is found on none of these, it may be detectable by Anti-Spyware programmes if it is operating as spyware. You can try these free programmes:
Ad-aware 2007
SpyBot-S&D
If you find nothing after this, or you didn't actualy accept the file as of yet, you're probably clean. Your contact is the one sending the file so it's their system that's infected,  so you could try recommending them to try these scanners too. (Y)
