Okay, I've just got this question to ask people. I was on msn today, and one of my friends sent me this link saying something like "Is this you? *Link*". I was curious, so I clicked it, and now everything is like screwed. Technically, nothing's really wrong AT THE MOMENT, but every time I log on to msn there's 3 files that keep on popping up on my desktop: "winstal.exe" "mc2.exe" "usetup.exe" I have no doubt that this is a virus. I scanned my computer, antivirus couldn't detect anything. My friend told me that he clicked the link and the same happened to him. Whenever he logs on to msn, he mass-sends this link to everyone, not even knowing it. Anyone got any advice? P.S. It says I can't delete these files.
Ouch. It's a virus alright. This is what a quick google gave me. http://www.happy-messaging.com/messenger/virus/ Try it, not sure what virus you got hit with, but I would assume it's number 2 or 3. Give it a try and good luck. Next time don't open anything like that, lol. Happens all the time though so don't worry, most of them aren't that malicious as far as I know.
makes us hate pop-ups even more... maybe you try to update your virus scan it may be a new virus and it cant be detected
Do you have anti-trojan software besides anti-virus ones? You also need Ad-Aware and Spybot. Just wipe everything off your hard drive and start afresh.
