HELP ME!
I'm having a problem with MSN - and I can't sort it out :(
I got sent a virus thingy over messenger, which i opened before I realised it was a virus. I then deleated the files, once I realised what it was, and ran my full-system virus scanner which turned out nothing and said no viruses had been found.
So I thought it was Ok - but now every time I go on MSN I'm fine for a few minutes, then all my conversation windows flash up and close really quickly and those virus files get sent - and then I can't open up any windows to talk to anyone.
I had 2 versions of MSN on my computer so I uninstalled one of them, but the other won't uninstall - and I can't think of what to do. My virus scanner says there is no virus but I am apparently still sending a virus of some sort to people - HELP ME!
It doesn't seem to affect the computer in any other way - just messenger, the internet is still working and everything, and I'm fine so long as I don't sign in, or try to talk to anyone, so I thought if I unistalled messenger it would be ok - then I could put it in again later, but I can't uninstall it becasue for some reason when I go to 'add/remove programmes' it isn't in the list of programmes!
ANd it won't exit on my toolbar - whenever I try to exit it it says I need to close other things (e.g. outlook and explorer) first - but they arent open!
*waaaaaiiiiiiiiiiilllllllll* god I hate computers!
Why is nothing ever simple!?!?!?!?!??!?!
Please please please help me! I don't even know whose problem this is so I don't know who to call to help!
