I put Windows Live Messenger on my computer for my wife but somehow a Virus has got into the program, because it sends messages from her friends when they are not online and it has messages in the window that have some kind of Link with a .Ru at the end the link. Does anyone have a advice on how I can clean this up?

Maybe first trying a virus scanner to remove the virus?

Use AVG (I think that is what it is called) if you want something free, or use like Norton or Mcafee to remove it.

It wasn't Live Messenger that gave you the virus. You must have had the virus before you installed Messenger and when you ran Messenger, it activated the virus.

I would strongly recommend doing several different virus scans on your computer...

Here are some links to check out.. the first one is an online virus scanner from Norton

The second is where you can get FREE AVG Anti Virus..

The third is Ad-Aware - eliminates spies/ads

The fourth is C Cleaner... cleans out your cookies, cache...
