  • how can it possibly be a virus?

    I've just checked Symantec and they've never heard of it - so I don't think it is.

    It sure doesnt look like a virus to me, i would suspect that something else killed 'yer mates pc' and the fact your first post on MSN was 'its a virus delete it quick' seems a bit odd!! Troll springs to mind ????

    As far as I can see this prog is fine for anyone that may be worried, it does have a few ads on it every now and then but they are harmless....

    enjoy!

    if you have msn and like to talk add smarterchild@hotmail.com its a robot you can ask him anything(its so funny) and you can also set reminders so when your on at the time he will tell you, hes my mate :p, when you say something he says a answer (if he understands) straight away, good help for kids and adults for help with questions he knows a lot has a dictionary and loads more

    smarterchild@hotmail.com
    Might just be me but when I click the link my outlook pops up, how do I download it??

    you need to download msn messenger and then add the address to send messages to it. The reason it opens outlook, is because it's an email address it thinks you want to send an email.

    if you go to https://www.msn.co.uk

    or https://www.msn.com

    and download the messanger from there.

    Hope that helps! I'm typing with a kitty sleeping on my arm and I'm trying not to disturb him!!!
