Default msn messenger & viruses
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this one. My friends just let me know that they've been getting pop ups to links through msn messenger, saying that they are from me. At this moment I'm doing a scan for viruses/spyware on my pc. Are viruses a cause of this from happening? This has never happened to me before. What I don't understand, is that I just did a fresh install on my PC. I ran scans before I did the reinstall on all the stuff I was transferring.
