Ryano Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I've just been sent a suspicious file on msn which then killed my msn almost completely....its called 'webshot16' or something along the lines of that.....it sends itself to everyone on your contact list whos online at that time, anyone know how to get rid of it? (I was stupid enough to run the program inside the zip that may have caused the virus to start killing my msn and so on ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
741davidbrown Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 i got hit by this little while back. the way i found is to system restore back a few days from when the problem started. so if it started today restore to yesterday it worked for me and i havent had no hassle since. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikard Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) Im No computer wizz how do i do a system restore .. i got the poxy thing Cheers On XP Start Button --> All Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> System Restore Then follow the Wizard, be careful though, as some times people can loose files for good, so It may be worth backing up your important files first Edited August 16, 2007 by Rikard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nezza46 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 dont mean to teach you to suck eggs lads, but why dont you get in the habit of scanning your files with your virus scanner before opening them, thus saving the hassle of trying to remove a virus from your system lol d'err Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
