This sounds really bad

[silent_wanderer]

It looks like I may have the same virus as discribed here: MSA.exe virus and others...big problems, i have a lot of info though
msa.exe keeps trying to send outbound packets. my avast antivirus has been completely wiped out and when I try to redownload it I get an error message. The application file msa was created on the fifteenth of october. this all started when my fiance accessed some porn sites while I wasn't at home on october 12
My zonealarm is still working and blocking msa.exe from accessing the internet thus far but I have to turn it back on every time I turn my computer on which is unusual and I keep expecting that to go down next. I was getting a notice when I turned on my computer saying that a certain file type could not be run as an app but that particular notice has stopped coming up. So far it appears that my internet an everything else is working correctly for now but if my computer goes down I lose access to my online college and it will be all kinds of bad for me. any thing you can suggest would be very helpful
