    MSN Messenger virus ?

    Friend's pc has the message saying take a look at this link basically.

    anyhow he's not typing it, done a virus def update and scan and adaware scan, and the problem is still apparent.

    just wondering if anyone on here has it ?

    yes i know what it is, but finding a removal tool is proving a problem. i may just try the stinger from NAI later.
