1) Uninstall plus!live and messenger
2) Get a decent antivirus to clean your pc - AVG Free is good [http://free.grisoft.com/]
3) Reinstall wlm v8.5
4) Reinstall plus!live
5) Don't open random files
i TRIED that,, but nothing,, i searched my pc, i foud that file at, my temp files on my hard drive, i deleted it, but i keeps reapearing.,, how do i get rid of it.???
Deleting temp files won't really solve anything, since it's probably got some registry files too which'll just make it keep reappearing.
From my experience symantec isn't really that good at removing once infected (not even the specially designed tools which target one SPECIFIC virus) *reads article on virus* nah shouldn't be too hard to get rid of. If that or AVG don't work you could always try Ad-Aware, or if not, it's always good to have a copy of that program anyway.
You can use System Configuration Utility [Start > Run> 'msconfig'] and look under the 'Startup' tab. That will tell you all of the process that load at startup. In the 'command' column, you can find the location of these startup processes, and in turn find any suspect applications that are running on startup. The directory of the suspect application will usually give it away. Anything in 'c:/documents and settings/allusers/application data' could be suspect
I have a program named MSN Cleaner, I used it once in such a situation and it found one worm/trojan whatever it is inside C:/Documents and Settings/All Users iirc and removed it. I am not sure the reliability of that program, so if you know it is bad, feel free to remove it from attachment.
