MSN virus?

Hi,
So I think I have an MSN virus. Apparently I'm constantly sending links to people when I'm not...any help? I thought I got rid of it last time by uninstall/reinstall but apparently it's not worked. My antivirus, malwares or spywares are not coming up with anything.

Help?


Thanks.
Undergrad law student. Take my advice with a pinch of salt! :rotfl:

    Can you please open MALWAREBYTES goto LOGS and post the LAST WHOLE log please (Even if its clean)

    reboot


    Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
    Click DO A SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE (Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
    (do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)

    Have you changed your password since this has happened?

    I've seen the link before (from a friend who was also in the same situation as you) and it prompts you to put your msn details in, as soon as you do it logs your password etc and signs in msn to send the same link out again to all your online friends.

    (I think this is the one you are talking about)
