    My sister has what I believe to be a virus which demonstartes itself through MSN Messenger. Whenever she send a message the following messages come up as well...

    hey, want me to send my new pic?
    i took it yesterday

    I remember hearing somewhere that this was a virus, but I can not find anything on it.

    Can anyone tell me what this is and how to remove it? Uninstalling and reinstalling MSN Messenger did not work.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks Daizy

    Thank You very much Daizy. I knew it was a virus, I just couldn't find the darn thing.

    I have sent the information to my sister so that she can clean the thing off her system.

    Thanks again.
