I'm running a Windows XP Professional without SP2 (i know i should update
it) and i got this message from the messenger service once every minute:

Message from "a computer name" to "my computer name" on "date"
My god! Some one killed ChineseHacker-2 Monitor

I searched the net for solutions and i found out that it should be the
PE_CHIR.B worm. I also downloaded trend micro's special tool against this
worm, but that didn't find any malware on my computer (just like my AVG
antivirus and anti-spyware )...trend micro also says that i should have a
file named runouce.exe in my registry, but i haven't found it where it
should be.

So what should i try? I'm not a computer expert, so if it's possible give
simple (but good) solutions. :) Big thanks!
