I've just got one. :(

Whilst I'm logged in MSN, it keeps sending random files to all of my contact list and crashing my computer. I've found the files on the C drive of my computer except when I try to delete them, they automatically re-appear. I've also tried un-installing Messenger so I could re-install it but it won't let me do that for some reason either.

Any suggestions on how I can get rid of it?

So update the virus definitions and do a full scan...

If that returns nothing, you're badgered.

First off, I don't accept random files off people without knowing what they are. Although my sister might have... Dunno.

Second, we've got anti-virus software installed. So there.

Don't accept random files from people, always ask them if they meant to send it first. You being stupid obviously caused the problem.

And get some antivirus software, there's loads of online scanners too that might be able to help.
