Windows Live Messenger virus
Hi you all. I've been downloading some things yesterday and now other people in my msn list have told me, that I've got a Windows Live Messenger Virus. It sends things to other people in my contact list like this:

www. PhotoShotz. com

HAHAHA!

But then a little bit different ofcourse. Now I've got some questions.

1. I've scanned my whole computer, including USB stick and other attached hardware. I've scanned with AVG 8.5 Free and with the Trial Version of Kaspersky (newest version). But they both haven't noticed the virus. Why?

2. Are AVG 8.5 Free and Kaspersky Trial Version enough to keep viruses away?

3. Well now, how can I delete the virus? I have no idea how to delete Windows Live Messenger, because it isn't in my 'Software' list. Or is it called 'Windows Live Essentials?' Is that WLM?

I've got some more questions, but I guess this is enough for now. THANKS ALOT, IN ADVANCE! (:
