Apparently, I sent a link to all of my contacts.  MSN also signed me out as it happened.  That is about all I know but I'm wondering if any of you can shed some light on the situation.  I'm not even really sure where it came from.

You probably were asked to log in at a fake site and now someone has your password.  Change it.

I did all ready.  I haven't used my email or password anywhere for a long time.


Then uninstall MSN, delete the Program Files folder if its still there, and reinstall it.

Contact support? I dunno.
It's not a virus on your computer. You logged on to a fake Windows Live page and someone stole your login info.

I wonder...  Do you think one of the other users on my computer could have somehow created this situation?

You're doomed to an endless stream of viruses, malware and stolen accounts.

And register for a new email account.
That should do it. My friend had one of those. Irritating things.

you get something like this by clicking the link from people that already have the virus, i had one and going back to a restore point fixed it

So true although my family only visits certain sites these days like youtube and government sites and I haven't had any troubles.

Basically you did something wrong. Clicked a bad link a contact sent you, and used your login details. Unless the stuffheads who pull this kind of stuff were actually smart enough to make a virus, THEN it could've been someone else in your house.

Your friends that 'you' are sending crap to should be safe unless they're just as handicapped as whoever got you in that situation.

I got the MSN virus but I got rid of it by going to this place to get rid of the virus.
The disadvantage... Cleared all my memory and stuff.

Had something like this back when I actually used MSN.
Changed my password and it stopped.
