hey there

i've had an msn virus the past few weeks that randomly sends the message "i Da uma olhada nas fotos dessa festa... muito legal.. " to ppl on my msn list then blocks me from warning them.

annoyingly, windows live onecare doesn't remove it (go figure, microsoft). does anyone know of this virus and how to remove it?

thx for any help!!

google the name of the virus, and there is usually a forum that takes care of stuff like that.

it's portugese. and i did google it and all the solutions are way involved - i don't want to go into regedit, blah blah. windows live onecare should be on top of this since it's infecting a microsoft product.

Do that system restore point thing.

I once had a really bad virus that COMPLETELY took over my PC, everything from my desktop image to my home page was changed but I manged to to a System Restore before it got worse and the virus was gone.

That **** was scary too.

i'm a designer and have a lot of software turnover so can't risk a system restore. that's too aggresive an approach for me

the worst thing is that when it send someone the virus it prevents you from sending them any more messages! so you can't even warn them. u need to quit and restart msn.

grrrr
