Re: MSN Foto virus "is this you"

thanks all for your replies, by boss thinks he has sorted this, if he has I will post the steps he took. he is a programer, and i think he done it manually, and also he sorted the side issue of the firewall not being able to be switched on.

I will post tomorrow night when i have spoken to him
