Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

[grajackgor]

I have run the MSN virus cleaner without coming up with anything

A point of clarification.

My daughter and I use the same computer but obvoiously have different Messenger Accounts. I made mine just to get a feel of what she was doing. She uses the Instant Messenging a lot. She began to get messages from her contacts that she had sent these dudious links. Some even swore at her for doing it. Somehow i got 3 messages from her with the same links, which she never sent. Something signed her in sent the link and then put her off line.

She has changed her password, but we have not signed her in since starting this thread. I have signed myself in with no obvious problem. I was thinking to shut down her current hotmail account and set up another one.

Any other suggestions

I have actually found deep in the histories of my Norton 2009 histories that it did submit a suspicious link for further analysis which was a long one but did contain the words 237340-rad.msn-com-worm-help.html. This happened on the 7th of April

Does this help?

My daughter does admit to following on the first of april one of these links which came from a friend and entering her username and password. She cant remember whether she ran something or saved something.

As some suggested your daughter might need to create a whole new account.
