hi, im gettin a lot of problems wiht a msn virus basically it randomly sends a message saying" hey i get my msn names from (link)" and other versions all containing the same link. and some reaons if i get into mass convos it goes hyper and wont stop sending the message long enough for me to even type anything.
im running msn 7.5, and all my antivirus and spyware dont recognise it. im using spybot and mcaffe.
if you know of a step by step of how to kill the thing please tell me.
