    Ummm

    OK well first of all you need to get more specific on a couple points.

    1. When you say "fix msn" and that it's sending a "message" and a "file"... is this MSN Messenger? or MSN email?

    (I'm guessing messenger... )

    2. Is this a message you actually wrote and a file you actually have? If not, you are infected.

    3. I don't know what you are using to scan for spyware with.. but a) this particular problem is not spyware and b) you may be infecting yourself by installing freeware spyware "removers"

    I would suggest you turn off system restore and close out of any programs. Then force a complete update of your security software and perform a complete scan of your system.

    If you are noy using a proper security suite (antivirus, firewall, antispyware, etc) from a RELIABLE vendor (like a mcafee, norton, etc) properly configured, updated, and updating automatically... then now would be the time.

    You can attempt a web based scan from symantec.com or a scan and removal from http://housecall65.trendmicro.com/

    Make sure you only have a single antivirus suite installed or you remove the bogus ones and reinstall the proper one or they will conflict and make each other useless.

    Once it is cleaned you can turn on system restore again to create a clean restore point.

    Good Luck!

    This problem happen to me it happend when I download a program don't know what but I guess it was a bad one. I also tried doing scans. At the end what I did I went to control panel and looked under add and remove programs and I removed on of the recently programs I download. I hope that helps if not you can try to go on your main internet browser under TOOLS click INTERNET OPTIONS and go to BROWSING HISTORY and erase all the files there. Hope that helps!
