WebCamCHat Virus - Help? by tonyfang9 on 07-07-2011 at 11:25 PM

I believe this is a virus and I don't know how I got it. It appeared randomly one day and it continued on. What happens is that whenever I log into Windows Live Messenger, a conversation pops up with the name "WebCamCHat" and a random person is talking. There isn't even an email I can trace so that I can delete/block it. Here's a picture of it. [Image: 347zjit.jpg] I hope there's a solution, thanks!

It appears to be a group, see the Groups section in the contact list (you may need to make it visible in the Layout preferences of WLM).  You can leave the group from the right-click menu of the group in the main window.
