    MSN will sign out a couple of times per day saying that I have signed into another computer (which of course I have not). It is also sending links to my online contacts automatically. I have done the scans but I can't find anything. What can I try next? I have done Panda, CC Cleaner, Super Antispyware and MSNCleaner.

    Hi myers1965,
    Welcome to Major Geeks!


    Do you have a two-way firewall installed? If not, please go to How to Protect Yourself from Malware and scroll down until you come to the download links for free firewalls. Choose one of these and install it. I recommend Zone Alarm because it's fairly easy to use. Your Windows Firewall needs to then be disabled in the Security Center which you get to by going to Start / Control Settings and then clicking on Security Center. (might be called Windows Secuirty Center?)

    After you do the above, go to your account at MSN and change your password.


    Then go through the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST and attach the requested log. You should already have a log for SuperAntiSpyware so you don't need to attach that one again.
