A friend sent me a message on MSN and a link came up after the message. As
this friend often sends me links I clicked on the link, it was a picture of
an oriental girl.
I asked why he'd sent it and he said he hadn't. It was obviously some sort
of virus as it then came up after every post he made. And now it's happening
to me too! Everytime I message someone they get the url after my message,
I've now infected another person with this msn virus as well.

How do I get rid of it? I've searched my PC and can't find the files.

Obviously DON'T CLICK ON THIS LINK: but for reference, the link is:

Please help.

Greetings Kelly,

You may want to run a virus scanner to remove this, panda works quite well:

Picture virus??? HELP! by anonymous

This exact same thing happened to me too! Someone
messaged me and the blue link appeared at the end of his
message and this oriental girl pops up. I asked him who
it was and he didnt know what i was talking about. And
the link kept appearing after every time he typed and
then it attatched itself to my computer! I discovered
that i can use my windows messenger no problem, the virus
effected my msn messenger so anyone that signs into it
will have the link appear on there name as well. Its so
frustrating i have had this for a week now and not used
msn messenger in fear of infecting any of my friends pc's
with this virus. I scanned my pc with this panda anti
virus i hope it works!
