Re: MSN windows going crazy

What kind of infection is this and how do you know about this?
Please give more details.
There are much better AV and AS tools than AVG and SpyBot, but neither of them can give 100% assurance.

Hi there,

I have MSN Live Messenger 8.0 and the individual user windows with user names on them keep flashing on. Also, the MSN window itself expands fully without any prompt and so far one of the contacts has gotten the infection from me.

I've run AVG and Hijack This, and SpyBot, but it keeps coming back....

What is it and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks,

Gordon
