Actually, both are acceptable as 'Viruses' has been introduced to our already overly complicated language.

Also the link links to Live Search, The correct link for the Installer is http://www.windowslive.com/
The actual URL to download only Windows Live Messenger is http://messenger.live.com/

Ok i changed it.

Also i was thinking something. Would it be possible to make a script to do all this for the user? Like delete the files then restart ect? Also the script can search for an anti-virus installed and if it finds one it triggers it to scan the system?

Thanks for your help!

Since one solution requires you to login to change your password and the other needs you to exit WLM, no.

It would probably need to be an exe. Triggering a scan from an antivirus program would not be hard, but possibly annoying. You just need to make a list of AV software and the scanning module they use (BitDefender uses BDlite.exe or something similar for example)
