MSN windows going crazy Gordon J. Rattray 04-18-2007

Hi there,

I have MSN Live Messenger 8.0 and the individual user windows with user
names on them keep flashing on. Also, the MSN window itself expands fully
without any prompt and so far one of the contacts has gotten the infection
from me.

I've run AVG and Hijack This, and SpyBot, but it keeps coming back....

What is it and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks,

Gordon

Don't know what to do about getting rid of the virus you have apart from
unistaling MSN Messenger, but I take it you have set in the messenger
options to use AVG to scan all files?

Alternatively ditch MSN Messenger and use Trillian www.ceruleanstudios.com,
I've been using it for the last year or so with no problems. Trillian can
also do Yahoo and AIM at the same time.

What kind of infection is this and how do you know about this?
Please give more details.
There are much better AV and AS tools than AVG and SpyBot, but neither
of them can give 100% assurance.
