You need to do a full system scan with several tools, mainly in Speedys sig.
Turn off System restore as well , Unless Nortons has changed for the better:lol: < sorry couldn't resist that. It wont be able to get any infections that are in restore. Nod32 will. But if Nortons can't get any out as soon as you reboot restore will put any infections right back.

594975 2007-09-26 06:16:00 Good lord, get rid of Nortons for a start and get Avast or ZA, both of which have IM protection. Oh, and don't allow that person near an IM program again. EVER:D beeswax34 (63)
594976 2007-09-26 08:01:00 Will know more once the person gets home and runs a few of the programs suggested, remember that the whole point is that you are talking to a friend on MSN Mess when you are asked if you wish to view some pictures, there was no reason to think that this request came from anywhere other than the person being talked to. That was only found out later.

Anyone using the IM would have done the same thing thinking that they were going to see some family pictures or something, beeswax34.

Thats very true, and Unfortunately thats exactly what these "Idiots" for the lack of a more Polite word prey on, people Innocently doing there own thing and they try to cause trouble.
(not allowed to swear other wise it will get Beeped ****)

If you can run some of the cleaner programs in Speedys Sig, as well as an upto date virus scan - disable system restore and hopefully it will flush the Bug**rs out.
