Download Stinger(Antivirus) from McAfee and run it on all the drives of your comp. That would not be more than a couple of Megs big and does wonders and the best part is it does not install on your PC and is free to use.

Start Menu/Control Panel/Add and Remove Programs would be where I would start.  Maybe get a virus scanner McAfee works quite well.  and get the updates.

Spyware Doctor will have given you the file name, path and location. Write that down then go to a tech forum where you can get specific advice on how to remove it. Theres a forum on Microsofts website.\nRemember to turn off System Restore before you run the following progeams, as it will be hiding in there and will re-install itself. You need a dedicated anti trojan, an antivirus such as AVG won't touch it. They are different programs.\nI'd also run these programs in safe mode. To get into safe mode, repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads, if you don't manage it first time just restart and try again.\nSafe mode looks very different and not all your programs will load but don't worry, its supposed to do that. The screen will run at 800 x 600. The scans will take a bit longer so just leave it to get on with it.\nI'd start with Avast! antivirus as it also deals with some trojans, then Ewido. See if those can remove it, then Windows Defender.\nhttp://www.ewido.net Ewido anti trojan\nhttp://www.avast.com Avast Antivirus\nMicrosoft have two free online scanners that look for malware.\nhttp://safety.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx\nYou can also download Microsofts free Windows Defender from the official Microsoft site, and the Malicious Software Removal Tool.\n\nAfter you clean this out you need better security precautions on your pc.\nThe Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out. Either of these firewalls are free for personal use and stop unwanted incoming and outgoing traffic. You choose which programs are allowed to access the internet. They are both fairly easy to use and updated regularly.\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com Zone Alarm firewall\nhttp://www.kerio.com Kerio firewall\n\nShields Up security site, check your firewall works\nhttps://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2\n\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/ Firefox web browser\nhttp://www.opera.com/  Opera web browser\nInstal both these web browsers, turn off javascript on one and use that browser for vising unknown websites. They don't support Active X so thats one less way for problems to get on your pc.\n\nWinpatrol is a handy utility that tracks cookies on your pc and stops unwanted changes to your startup folder.\nhttp://www.winpatrol.com\n\nSpywareblaster works with Internet Explorer. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to \nI.E.\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy anti spyware\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html\n\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com Cr*pcleaner Registry cleaner and privacy tool\n\nRemember to update and run all of you anti malware programs at least once a week.

How do you know you've got a virus?\nIf you're sure go to Microsoft web site and use the malicious spy ware software program, if this doesn't find it get and use spy-bot search and destroy.\nThey should clear it for you. Remember though that some viruses are hard to shift and you might need to run spy-bot a couple of times to get rid of it. Once its gone use avg to keep things clean and sweet.\n\nAny way I can help contact me\nDave B

www.suggestafix.com has a fix for it. \n\nJust register (free) and go to the 'Malicious Code: Viruses, Trojans, Spyware and Browser HiJacking' forum. \n\nHe'll walk you through it step by step. Ed's not only the best there is, he also writes codes to get rid of these parasites.\n\nAlso this would help for sure :\nhttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic36868.html\n\n\nNote: The removal program is updated whenever a new file is found that is associated with this infection. When new updates are released, I will mention the update date in the topic description. You should remove the current SmitRem folder that you created, and redownload the SmitRem as per the instructions given in this topic. \n\nWhat this program does: \n\nSpyaxe is a anti-spyware program that is known to issue fake warnings on your computer in order to manipulate you into buying its full commercial version. If you are infected with this program you may receive warnings in your task bar that appear to be from Microsoft Security Center stating that you are infected with spyware and to run its special anti-spyware tool. This tool turns out to be the commercial version of Spyaxe. These warnings are fake and are a goad to have you buy the commercial version of this software.\n\nTools Needed for this fix: \nsmitRem.exe \n\nDownlaod from the link above.

Popup blockers will only stop web based popups. They can help somewhat, but if you are getting excessive popups, and popups even when you are offline, it means you have trojan downloaders on your machine that are calling out to deliver the pop up ads. \n\nTry a full cleaning and dis-infection routine. \n\nThis is the one I use (it will take some time).\n\n1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender\n\nhttp://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/\n\n2. Scan for trojans and remove (free online scan) with Ewido\n\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/\n\n3. Scan for ad/spyware and remove (free download) with Spybot Search & Destroy\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html\n\n\nIf you are using an older version of Windows (pre XP-SP2) you may also be getting "Messenger Service" popups which are caused by Microsoft leaving the almost never used Windows Messenger Service enabled by default. This was corrected in Windows XP- Service Pack 2.\n\nUnderstand that the Windows Messenger Service is completely different from, and not in any way related to, "MSN Messenger", "Windows Live Messenger" "yahoo Messenger", or any other well-known instant messaging system. Therefore, disabling the Windows Messenger service will have no effect upon your use of any other instant messaging applications. They will continue to work without trouble. \n \n\nTo disable this service in older versions of Windows use the free, Shoot The Messenger from:\nhttp://www.grc.com/stm/ShootTheMessenger.htm\n\nGood luck.

Have you tried totally removing msn msgr through add/remove programs?  if not, do that and then delete the downloaded zip file and go back to the msn site and download it again from scratch.  That usually works.\n\nGood Luck
