The ‘How to remove the MSN Messenger virus‘ post is one of my most popular post, a lot of people have e-mailed me on how to remove the MSN virus further. I want to take this opportunity to give more information and ‘how to’ guides on how to remove the virus.

The easiest way to remove the virus is running an anti virus scan or spyware scan. Here is a good one to start with. The next step is to run a registry cleaner to remove the virus from the registry. This is a good one and so is this.

If you think you have got rid of the virus, start protecting your computer by using an anti virus and firewall software. AVG is a good free anti virus tool to protect yourself from viruses. Zone Alarm is a good free firewall to use to protect yourself from hackers.

Below are some more resources to check out:

Be sure to check out the Technize download section, they have some useful tools to use.

I can’t do anymore than tell you to run anti viruses, keep up to date, don’t click any links within messenger unless you trust the source. If you get a link sent to you on MSN Messenger, ask the sender what it is first, chances are they will most likely respond with “what link” then you will know it’s a link to a virus.
