Go to the Temp folder - C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name here>\Local Settings\Temp. Delete all files in there - write down the names of any which can't be deleted.

Do the same for C:\WINDOWS\Temp.

CrapCleaner - www.ccleaner.com is useful for deleting all that in one go

EDIT: BTW system restore will do jack. Hows that going to remove a virus? It's just going to roll back on installed programs.

i dont think so m8 it restores everything on your system even on other drives, it got rid of all the crap that i got and yes the virus opens all your msn ontacts and sends the same message to everyone and its not just the message that u get belive me

You'll need to turn off your firewall and AV software, I think it conflicts.

my brother (noob

) had the exact same problem you just gotta either boot into safe mode and delete all the files or end the tasks in task manager and delete them

failing that a virus scan in safe mode should do the trick

if you lot are clicking web links and getting malware on your computers, it's either from the microsoft vector graphic or WMF metafile exploits. They are both patched now so make sure you have run windows update.

If you like then you can download a copy of HiJackThis (www.merijn.org) install it into it's own folder i.e. (c:\HJT).

Close all running programs, especially MSN and IE then use HJT to create a log file and paste a copy here that I will go through for you.

However DO NOT USE HJT TO FIX ANYTHING YET. HJT not only shows infected system objects, but also some vital normal system objects and ficing the wrong thing can cause serious problems.

Or as well as posting it here you can also have a go through it yourself and also if you paste your log into here
