 | If someone sends you something on MSN saying...
 
 "rofl, is this you?" and a link to http://dynsig.net/picture.php?<your msn address>
 
 ...then please don't follow it. 'Tis a virus
  Symantec Corporate Edition only did a half-arsed job of blocking it too! |

 | no you bellend..
 
 im not saying that disabling msn will get rid..
 
 it enables you to delete Run.exe and MSN.exe
 
 thats why charlene was having trouble deleting it....
 
 and the reason you stop MSN loading up is because it send the messages out every 10 mins

 | chris is right. stop it loading through msnconfig, and then you can delete it. the reason you cant delete it, is because its running in the background. you can also disable it by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and ending the process, but it might come back up. your best bet is to run norton in safe mode, where windows only loads the core files and processes.
 
 happy killing

 | So you need to Delete MSN.exe and run.exe, witch can be found in a search...
 
 what files do you need to disable?...
 
 msmsg.exe, msn.exe & run.exe?
