MSN virus - sending links to contracts.

[oshta]

I have a freind who seams to have a virus that sends link to people/

Apprently if shes on MSN it logs her off (maybe once every four hours or so) saying she has logged on else where (non of her machines), then sends said spam messages to all her contacts who are online, she signs back in, and it all keeps happening thought the day.

At a guess, one or other of her machines (or one shes used) has a virus which has pinched her log one details, which are then performs the attach.

Is been suggested she changes her passwork, so that my even cure it. But otherwise any suggestions for what it might be (weblink or somthing) or suggestings for removing it would be great.


Cheers, Daniel.

If she uses Pidgin does it still occur?

google the spam message thing and there is usually a fix

It's not a virus - she's probably signed in to a phishing site and now they have a server holding her password, logging in and sending messages.

Tell her to change her password.

alot of my contacts seem to have this too, messages such as

"this so looks like you! *insert spammage website here*"
