    Hey guys. I seem to have contracted a rather annoying virus. Basically, this virus sends out spam emails to everyone on my MSN list periodically. I've run a couple virus scanners to no avail. Is anyone familiar with this virus and know how to detect/remove it or am I forced to reformat? Thanks a lot!
