SPAM / HOAX messaged being populated from my msn.?

Question

Persistent messages are being generated from my msn to recipents, without my doing or knowledge. All of the (hoax ) messages are with attachments (photo) files, asking the viewer to accept or decline. The mesages start off by saying they are from me (user name). Several antivirus programs and reload of msn have failed to resolve the problem. Spam mail / worm , call it what you want, seems to be indestructible. Viewers have become so vexed that they have blocked me off. The worst part is that I dont even know it is happening. Where does the bug reside ? What is its purpose ? Ho do I rid myself of it. Thanks to anybody who can help me. PLEASE !!

Answer 1

there is some computer parasite attached to you msn and using it to infect your contacts. turn the msn off for a while, because everyone that clicks on the message sent by you msn gets infected too, so save your friends.

you need antispyware to delete the parasite. if you don't use antispyware yet i recommend spyware doctor

Answer 2

I think I know the one you're on about it says like "Hey, I JUST GOT BACK FROM AN AMAZING HOLIDAY HERES THE PICS" then they accept/decline right? If they accept it's the virus, it causes no harm just quite annoying. To delete go - Start > My computer > Drive C > Documents and settings > Owner > Local settings > Application data > Microsoft > Windows live contacts > Find your MSN > Real > Delete file in there (Cache).



Hope I helped :)

use activescan for online scanning ..

if it finds some files and won`t delete them (due to commercial reasons that might happen) copy&paste the report on the notepad, search the files and delete them. don't forget to unable your antivirus temporally before online scanning

in case activescan won’t work, use this one its really good too

Answer 5

It looks like your MSN account has been hacked by you clicking a link in MSN or hotmail more than likely.

Your best bets are to remove and reinstall MSN, run a virus/adware/malware scan and possibly use a new account.

Answer 6

Sounds like at some point you logged into one of those sites to see who had you blocked and who didn't and what those sites do is basically keep your password so they keep logging on without your knowledge and interacting with yoru contacts without your permission. Like Klute said a while ago just change your msn password because it doesn't sound like a virus, they just hacked your account.

Thomas Malthus replaced into precise--inhabitants grows geometrically at the same time as ingredients like nutrients develop incrementally. we do no longer likely have actual nutrients shortages yet. there is starvation interior the international yet they're led to via distribution issues and via politics. however the inhabitants of the international doubles now in basically some years. as properly nutrients, toxins is likewise a difficulty. cities are actually not the subject. it quite is the variety of persons, no longer how close they stay. cities certainly are greater effective because of the fact there is far less transportation, and with public transportation, much less toxins according to mile traveled. particular, in case you receive each and every person interior the international and stood all of them up shoulder-to-shoulder they could all fit in a quite small area. yet it quite is not the subject the two. for everybody we want an acre or so of farmland. Plus we are without delay employing up irreplaceable ingredients--power, sparkling water, forests, and minerals like lead, tin, copper etc. while the inhabitants doubles lower back, in according to threat two decades, we are able to be employing them up two times as quickly. we are actually not likely overpopulated yet, yet we are getting there little via little, so greater than a number of persons think of we could constantly be aggravating approximately it now, earlier it occurs.

Answer 8

Best bet is to google the exact message. I've seen this before where someone would randomly send me stuff that wasn't expected.

The cleanup process (of your computer) can be a little tricky. but if you follow the instructions online you should be able to resolve the issue.
