MSN Virus?!

Natx · 07-03-2009, 01:28 PM

About 2 months ago when I was chatting with my friend on MSN,she sent me some link where it was mentioned my MSN nickname. I clicked it and it asked me for my MSN address and password,and I typed it, then nothing happened,my computer started being slow and I closed it. When I wanted to ask her what it is, it said she's offline,then she said she can't go on MSN.
Since then,my other friends were getting the same message with the same link from ME (and that when I was offline),and besides that,my MSN started logging out by itself. Could it be some spy virus or maybe it's not even a virus?
I ran Avast to see if I have some viruses (I had them before too) and there were some but I couldn't remove them,maybe because those are spy? Then I downloaded Anti Spyware program and it found a few viruses,but I think I couldn't remove them there too.
As I am not really good with viruses and spy viruses and I don't know which program I should use to remove them from my computer it would be really good if someone could help me.
Thanx!
