How to get rid of the msn messenger virus?

How do i get rid of this windows/msn messenger virus?

• ive heard its a really common virus, my friend sent a link saying something like "hey, is this you?" so i clicked on it (stupidly), and then it sent the same message and link to loads of people on my contact list, who then clicked on it and sent it to people on their contact lists etc. has anyone else experienced this? how do i get rid of it? i scanned my laptop with McAfee SecurityCentre but it didnt find the the virus for some reason

• Answer:

  in safe mode F8 run malwarebytes anti-malware and SUPERAntispyware,and what they find you delete it manually. then run ccleaner to clean your pc, and mvregclean, to clean registry. what mvregclean find you remove because the key is there but not the file ,folder or program. even you reformat and it finds anything remove dont be afraid. dont forget when you install this software to update them, and do an update every day then restore until before you get infected. m
