Re: Windows Live Messenger Hijacked??

There are hundreds (perhaps thousands) of such sites, and visiting one has likely joined you in a large SPAM Bot.

Your contact list is captured, and everyone on that list will start receiving similar messages supposedly from you.

Update your Antivirus, and disconnect from the internet. Scan thoroughly in Safe Mode, and again in Normal mode.
If you find out that is insufficient, head to the Security Cleanup Forum and do the pre-requisite steps at the top of the Forum.

Well, I have scanned with AVG, AVIRA, SuperAntiSpyware, Adaware and came up with zilch.

That is why I would like someone with knowledge to look at the code of that site to see if I am missing something.

I feel pretty safe that my PC is clean, but reassurance is always nice.
