Hi. A friend "sent" me a link on windows live messenger which looked like this: ------ <a href="http://HottestPicz.com/?user=<username>&=DSC00245.JPG" target="_blank">http://HottestPicz.com/?user=<us... ?!? HAHAHA ;-) ------- where <username> is my username in msn. I stupidly clicked on the link, and now it seems that I am sending the same link to all my messenger contacts as soon as i turn on my pc. I have scanned with my Symantec anitivirus, spybot, and ad-aware, but neither of those have found anything. Anybody has any idea of what i can do to get rid of this virus, or what damage it is actually doing beside redistributing itself?
