HELP! someone sent me a file that said "is this you?" next to it was a website address, i clicked on it but it didnt work so i left it. then yesterday, a few weeks later, someone else has sent me the same thing but this time it said do you want to open or save this file? i clicked open btu it has automatically saved the file, i dont know what it is called. every time i go on msn messenger now, it automatically sends the same message that i received to all of my online contacts and once it has done this, it wont let me open a conversation to warn them not to go on it, which forces me to sign out and sign back in again, please HELP me get rid of this virus!i was going to delete it but then my mate said he got sent one, not sure if it was the same, and he said he tried deleting it but it was saved to his hard drive and it wrecked his comp! please help me, my dad'll kill me! lol.

Perhaps try an on-line scan. I use TrendMicro's HouseCall. It's very good.
