Unless they have changed it in the latest version, the removal procedure is:\nStart -> Control Panel\nAdd or Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components\nUncheck MSN Explorer, Outlook Express and Windows Messenger.\nClick Next\nClick Finish\n\nKeep in mind that if you use Outlook Express for your email, you may not be able to remove Windows Messenger. If this is the case, then you will want to remove it from the start up, so that it no longer starts when your computer starts. \n\nWhen the program is open, it will either be on the screen or down in the right hand corner as an icon in the system tray. Double click to get it open on the screen, then find the settings window. It should be under Preferences, Tools, Option, Settings or System, I don't remember which. Then find the tab with the start up options and uncheck the box to start when Windows starts.\n\nIf that doesn't work, then go \nStart -> Startup -> Windows Messenger\nRight click on Windows Messenger, and then click delete. Click "Delete Shortcut" and it will remove the program from the startup folder.\n\nIf all these fail, then more radical action is required. Let me know and I will try to help via email.\n\nGood luck!

Many of my friends' PCs are now infected with this. I searched online and found a cure which I think worked for many who tried it. Here's the solution from sureshkumar.net forums.\n\nSo how to remove this manually from your computer ?\n\n1: Close the IE browser. Log out messenger / Remove Internet Cable.\n\n2: To enable Regedit\n\nClick Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below: (better - Copy and paste)\n\nREG add HKCU&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Policies&#92;System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f\n\n3: To enable task manager : (To kill the process we need to enable task manager)\n\nClick Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below: (better - Copy and paste)\n\nREG add HKCU&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Policies&#92;System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f\n\n4: Now we need to change the default page of IE though regedit.\n\nStart>Run>Regedit\n\nFrom the below locations in Regedit chage your default home page to google.com or other.\n\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Main\n\nHKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Main\n\nHKEY_USERS&#92;Default&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Main\n\nJust replace the attacker site with google.com or set it to blank page.\n\n5: Now we need to kill the process from back end. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del\n\nKill the process svhost32.exe . ( may be more than one process is running.. check properly)\n\n6: Delete svhost32.exe , svhost.exe files from Windows/ & temp/ directories. Or just search for svhost in your comp.. delete those files.\n\n7: Go to regedit search for svhost and delete all the results you get.\n\nStart menu > Run > Regedit >\n\n8: Restart the computer. That’s it now you are virus free.

I am using msn ver 7.5, and you can find it similar in other version:\n\n1. Tools > options\n2. Select Message\n3. Uncheck "Automatically keep a history of my conversations"\n4. By default, all previous conversation would be saved in C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;[user name]&#92;My Documents&#92;My Received Files&#92;[some random name]&#92;History. You might wanna check and delete them, if you wish.\n\nHope it helps...

What are you using, Outlook Express?  Go to TOOLS/ACCOUNTS then delete the old MSN Account that is in there.  You should see the MSN Account and your work account listed.\n\nDunno if that is your solution since I do not have enough info.\n\nIf it works, don't worry about the 10 points, I don't answer questions to get points, I do it coz I like to (hopefully) help!\n\n:)
