MSN Live Messenger Infected!

Statut : Not resolved

Hello,



So I sign in into MSN Messenger. Right away, I get a message from a "buddy" that I never talk to saying "Check out my new Pictures". I was dumb enough to accept the file. I scanned it with AVG before opening, and it said no threads found. So I opened it.

Now, it looks like it infected me because my other "buddys" have been getting the same message, and I'm guessing infected as well.

My question is, how can I make it STOP!!
I have AVG Anti-Virus
AVG Anti-Spyware

Both were scanned. Anti-virus found some threads but deleted. Virus was cleaned.

I have tried the following:
-Re-set the computer from a previous date. Going back and booting it from last week. (Didn't work)
-Deleted MSN Messenger, and re-installed it (Nothing)
-FULL Scan of Virus, and Spyware (Nothing)

They are still getting the message, and I'm just lost at this point.

p.s. Looks like it's been sending different messages to my friends, but same file:
"I think I found some pictures of you on Myspace!!!!!"
"take a look at this picture i took of my new hair color. What do you think?"
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

This is only a pop-up ! Have you installed a feature for msn ? msn live or something ? this is not a virus, its just a pop up that creates advertising ! ;) no stress

There's no way to stop it apart from un-installing the version of msn you are using and re-install !

Cheers

I am having the same problem and it varies from being a pic I want to use on myspace, my dream car or a pic I took of myself.

I have run the virus and spyware programs as well, and tried with a different sn. I got it from a friend when I thought I hit cancel to see the pic of his car but obviously accepted 1 of the 4, it was showing as a compress (zip) file. It keeps showing to everyone as soon as I logon and at times even if coming out of standby.

HELP HELP HELP

THANKS

I had this problem. But then i fixed it. When i got the virus all i did was just do a system restore to the previous day. My msn and everything was working fine and everything was back to normal. I hope this helps :).

I think I have solved the problem at the moment, but I do have 1 friend saying he is getting the message. I after running 7 programs the one that finally seemed to find it was avg. I told it to delete the file. When doing that msn no longer worked so I had to remove it and reinstall it. At times I have problems being able to log on but (other then the 1 person) the problem seems to be solved for now.

THANKS AGAIN

Hi,
Download ans try this tool, MSNFix, on this link http://sosvirus.changelog.fr/MSNFix.zip
Decompress it, and place the files in C: \ MSNFix (very important).
Double click on the file MSNFix.bat.
-- Run the option A.
-- If the infection is detected, a message will indicate this and it will be enough to press a button to start the cleanup.
Note:
- If an error of suppression is detected a message appears asking to restart the computer in order to complete the transactions. In this case it is sufficient to restart the computer in normal mode


Good luck

May be AVG is not able to detect virus. Try doing an online virus scan using some other antivirus
