    He has a msn virus and keeps saying to everyone "can i put this picture of us on my profile?" and sends a file which has the virus inside it
  • Throw in a Kaspersky on line scan for safe measures;

    Please do a scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner

    Note: If you are using Windows Vista, open your browser by right-clicking on its icon and select 'Run as administrator' to perform this scan.

    Click on the Accept button and install any components it needs.
    • The program will install and then begin downloading the latest definition files.
    • After the files have been downloaded on the left side of the page in the Scan section select My Computer
    • This will start the program and scan your system.
    • The scan will take a while, so be patient and let it run.
    • Once the scan is complete, click on View scan report
    • Now, click on the Save Report as button.
    • Save the file to your desktop.
    • Copy and paste that information in your next post.

    And the friend needs to cut down the programs running at start up!!
    My suggestion and/or advice is my own and it is up to you if you follow it, please check the advice given before acting on it.
  • Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malicious sites can use to exploit and infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update:
    1. Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 7 and save it to your desktop.
    2. Scroll down to where it says "Java Runtime Environment (JRE)6 Update 7...allows end-users to run Java applications".
    3. Click the "Download" button to the right.
    4. Select your Platform: "Windows".
    5. Select your Language: "Multi-Language".
    6. Read the License Agreement, and then check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
    7. Click Continue and the page will refresh.
    8. Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation and save the file to your desktop.
    9. Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
    10. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove Programs and remove all older versions of Java.
    11. Check (highlight) any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
    12. Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
    13. Follow the onscreen instructions for the Java uninstaller.
    14. Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java version.
    15. Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
    16. Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u7-windows-i586-p.exe
    17. Follow the on screen instructions to install the latest Java version.
