    Run Spybot S&D, Adaware and Windows Defender Beta 2 and you should be able to get rid of the program. Ill just go and have a look but I think there is a way of finding if someone has blocked you.

    Yes there is, if you click on Tools in MSN Messenger

    Then click on Options

    You will see a large box appear

    Then on the left hand side click on Privacy

    Then click on the View Button

    This will then show you a list of people that have allowed you, if you cant find them then you're blocked!

    Thanks for the advice but I've ran everything and still can't get rid of block-checker. It keeps saying that it might be write-protected. Help

    is this the block checker for msn?

    if so it's probably running as a process so you'd need to stop the process first (right click toolbar, task manager, processes).
    To stop it coming on MSN just go to the block checker website and follow the instructions on stopping the message appearing.
