This happened to me once before and there was this virus in my task manager and i couldnt get rid of it so i used AVG 7.5 spyware and Kaspersky virus scanner and i tracked the virus down and then i used spybot and eliminated this virus.

[kanoakavirus]

avg would have dealt with the virus before spybot?

[computer lover786]

Yes it would have

There is a tool for cleaning this virus.

Download MsnCleaner.zip and save to you Desktop. In addition to removing infected files, it will remove certain restrictions on your system often disabled by malware.

• Extract (unzip) the file to your desktop but DO NOT use it yet.
• Reboot your computer in Safe Mode using the F8 method.
  • To do this restart your computer and after hearing your computer beep once during startup (but before the Windows icon appears) press the F8 key repeatedly. A boot menu will appear with several options. Use the arrow keys to navigate and select the option to run Windows in Safe Mode.
• Double-click MsnCleaner.exe to run the tool.
• Click the Analyze button.
• A report will be created after the scan and will be saved to C:\MsnCleaner.txt
• If it finds an infection, click the Deleted button.
• Reboot normally and it should be gone.

[evilfantasy]

It's an uphill struggle to stay ahead of the virus writers for sure.

Safe mode should get the msn cleaner
