Title: MSN query
Post by: Serenity on May 27, 2009, 21:07

Hi Guys

For some reason an e mail is continually being despatched to my MSN messenger contacts with the following message :

dear,
how are you doing recently?
I would like to introduce you a very good company and its website is www.hkcshop.com It can offer you all kinds of electronic products that you may be in need,such as laptops ,gps ,TV LCD,cell  phones,ps3,MP3/4,motorcycles and etc......
You can take some time to have a check ,there must be something interesting you 'd like to  purchase .
Hope you can enjoy yourself in shopping from that company !
Regards


Has anyone any ideas as to  how I can stop this happening?   :-\

Sounds like you've been infected with some spyware, Bev.  Suggest you download and run SuperAntiSpyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html) (Free edition), and / or Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php) (Free edition), both of which are very good spyware removers.
