RE: Sister got a virus
I think the virus you have is "IM-Names virus"
Here is removal instructions, follow them carefully:
http://www.happy-messaging.com/messenger/virus/names.html

quote:
1. Close Messenger.
2. Goto 'Start' then 'Run' and type 'msconfig'. A new window should appear.
3. Click on the tab at the top right that says 'Startup'.
4. Untick the box next to 'IM-Names'. (If you cannot find it skip this task)
5. Click 'ok' and when it asks if you want to restart your computer say no.
6. Press 'Ctr' + 'Alt' + 'Del'. Find the processthat says 'IM-Names' and click End Task.

The virus has now been deactivated!

To remove it fully follow these instructions:

1. Search your computer for all files called "IM-Names".
2. Delete all files that it finds.
3. Empty your Recylce Bin.

The virus has now been fully removed!

Edit: No problem! :grin:
