How do you get rid of MSN virus?

MSN virus - how do u get rid of it?

  • i downloaded msn messenger and stupidly clicked some link and now my msn keeps asking people to "accept these files" without me knowing and apparently its a virus how do i get ...show more

  • Answer:

    this happened to me- I just waited it out- it deleted most of my contacts- I used to have around 500 and it deleted 200 of those :\ and people are like "Why did you delete me" or "Why did you block me" when i didn't.. The best thing to do is to restart your computer using System Restore: (Windows XP) Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools> System Restore Select a date BEFORE you downloaded MSN messenger and restore it, It would take a few minutes. Then download messenger and DO NOT click on the virus link again lol. Hopefully it should work, in the meantime tell your friends not to click on it. Hope this works.

Well its a virus that uses your MSN messenger to propagate itself. What you can do is that you can install this antivirus software called AntiVir its free and its amazing but it wont be able to do anything if you are not careful wen clicking links. One good things bout this software is it would give a virus warning if you click a link that poses a threat....the link as follows to download this software and run a virus scan. Antivir is likely to find the virus and delete it otherswise you will have to format you OS and install it again http://www.free-av.com/en/download/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html

You computer has been infested with malware. You cannot use that computer to get on MSN until you get some anti-malware to remove the malware. You should be able to access your MSN account from a computer that is not infested with the malware, but do not open that message - or any message, they might all be infested by now. You should forward that message to the MSN problem-reporting page so they can investigate and try to block it from spreading, and so they can try to track it backward to see where it came from. Try running Microsoft's Windows Defender, it is included with Vista. For XP, it is a separate download. Then run MRT.exe It is a Microsoft program (Malicious software Removal Tool) which is located in WINDOWS\System32 ---------- These anti-malware programs might be able to remove it: BitDefender DrWeb F-Secure Ikarus Kaspersky Microsoft NOD32 Sophos When new malware comes out it takes a week or two for the anti-malware people to figure out how to remove the malware and to figure out how to block it. ---------- For free anti-virus : AVG Free http://free.avg.com/ For free anti-spyware : Spybot Search and Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/
