How to solve it?
So far i know 2 ways:
1. Google for MSN virus removal tool, one of them would be http://www.msnvirusremoval.com/download.php , before you use this tool to clean your machine, make sure you scan the application. Once you have removed the virus, run a full scan on your machine.
2. I learnt this from my sister: Change your Windows Live Messenger password, which means you have to log into Windows Live account and change your password to something stronger than current password. Alternatively, you can ask for a 72 days password renewal as well.
