The most easiest way is to do a scan then before trying to remove the virus. Then you find the *.exe prefix matching the virus scan results in Ctrl>Alt>Delete>Processes (tab) and find the corresponding *.exe file and hit terminate. After that head back to your virus scanner and remove the virus/es

Brilliant guide - I got a "trojan horse backdoor IRCbot" i checked this on the intenet - and it turned out to be quite a high risk virus, I found that My antivirus could get rid of it - even one of the free ones i tried - Althoough I found that wenever i used the free one, it seemed to re apear, and after getting rid of it the second time, it disapeared. Brilliant guide - Those viruses are SOOO annoying

Kaspersky is a very good antivirus so it should (dosent mean it will) but i find nod32 better since it finds every virus you can think of alltho i never got the link thing but i would ignore it and never accept sharing folders since they arent scanned

msn virus
How To Remove 4 Different Msn Messenger Virus's

Someone sent me an email with a link in it 'see who has deleted you from messenger' I didnt follow it or open it as I didnt trust the sender. I did look at the site some time later.

I then told a friend on msn about it and she opened the link from the messenger window.

The next time I sent her an offline message it appeared in her messenger window as the link to the 'who has deleted you site, rather than me. Its obvious that the person who sent it to me knew what they were doing in sending this virus to me. It didnt activate until I told someone and they looked at it.

Now we cant message each other. We have tried deleting messenger and reinstalling it, system restore, it doesnt show up on any virus checks and we are left only being able to email each other not I'm.

We would be really grateful for any suggestions how to get rid of it. Is there anywhere you can report people who do this as do know who sent it.

Thanks. Yours hopefully, Suze
