There seems to be a major MSN virus. Its a trojen and is vary bad. What it is, is that once you click on the link (it will click it automatically) it will be installed on your computer and will screw up your computer so bad.
I did adware, AVG, defrag everything and is still screwing up what should i do? Should i go to recover of yesterday?

I'd recover to yesterday, yes. Those i-m client-side viruses have been around for a while now though. If some random name sends you an i-m asking you to click here for pictures or asks, "hey is this you in this picture?" or something like that then don't click them. I think that's what you ran into this time...

Damn the virus/trojan deleted my recovery mode now what do i do?
This virus/trojan name is called FSET it installs its self with hundreds of txt doc. that control it. I think i deleted it now. If i talk to you on msn just don't click on anything, i send you. Plus don't talk to me i dono if i fix it.

Ive never heard of this before. Could you tell me exactly waht to look out for?
Also its okay to talk to you, your just sending arrays and socket-packs of strings, theres nothing that can go wrong
with a chat. Also Id do what DarkPacman said or I would get hiJackThis, run a scan, and copy your log to
www.thatcomputerguy.com
and post it there. Post your problem as well, they helped me get the vudo completally off my PC without reformatting to a previous date.

Well if you can find the location of the file than i can show you how to delete it. This method i will show you how to delete un-deletable files.
open notepad
and Type in the following
del "C:location of file"/Q/S
Finally save as "whateveruwant.BAT" and double click it , that should delete it.

yeah, MSN viruses have been around for years. Great thing about MSN is people you don't know or accept on your list can't message you. It's pretty obvious when someone's got the virus though. You'll get some weird message from them... sometimes a few messages very rapidly (so it's obviously some kind of bot action going on) and it will have a ridiculous link. Just don't click on it unless you hear what it's about. The virus isn't smart enough to answer questions... lol.
