When I log into my MSN account and click on a new contact to chat to, it auto-sends a message to them saying, "Hey, I get my MSN Names from... (website)" and I don’t know how to stop it.

I am not 100% certain if this is a virus, but my friend told me it IS one after receiving that auto-message, and he was more then sure.

Then it struck me - my computer has been very slow to start up (after I log into my windows account), it takes about 5-6 minutes, followed by a few pop-ups and then after that it seems fine after I close them windows. During those 5-6 minutes of wait, I can’t really click on anything (I can move the mouse icon, but the cursor displays the typical loading symbol) and it all started ever since this auto-message thing. It MUST be a virus!!??

Can someone please help me? I have read about a few MSN viruses and they sound familiar to this one. Oh, this sucks!!

What can I do to get rid of the virus, if it is one??
