    I do technical support, but what you just explained is probably a combination of configuration errors, software corruption, and perhaps a worm (but I doubt it). Please, more detail.

    I'd use a few programs like Spybot Search and Destroy http://shinobiresources.com/downloads.htm available for free here. It will remove any spyware and some malicious warez too.

    Also you'll want a proper virus scanner / firewall. I use Mcafee over Norton because I think Norton is clunky and trojans jump on your pc then point and laugh at it.

    Free antivirus / firewalls include:

    AVG Anti-virus: http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php

    and

    Zonealarm: http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/promotions/microsoftsecurity/11101.html?AID=9928173&PID=1385068

    Unfortunately a lot of naughty programs are run jus for MSN Messenger, you have to be very careful about what you run, transfer and so on with it on.

    Hope this helps,

    B

    A loooooong time ago, my contact list changed completely to all these arabic contacts and people. It was really weird. Then I signed out, and everything was back to normal.
