Re: antivirus 2008 XP
Be extremely careful about any email that claims or appears to look to be
from Microsoft that has email attachments.
There are a number of fake emails from admin (at) microsoft (dot) com
MS never ever sends unsolicited items by email.
On the rogue message, if still present, use press and hold ALT key, then
press F4 function key to get it closed.
Since it appears you have residual infection issues, let me suggest you get
guided help.
Read the topmost directions at one of the following forums
and post your logs as required by that forum.
Do NOT post your logs here on the MS newsgroups.

Re: antivirus 2008 XP
Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm finally free of the thing! Ended up
getting the Microsoft OneCare in addition to the malwarebytes program, so
hjopefully this will turn out ok. In future, I certainly won't be opening any
email ... even if they're from microsoft.com
thanks again for the advice:)

Re: I consider this as SPAM
It is SPAM
They charge either $1.00 or .50c a minute, depending on how good they are.

You must be a Pommie, drinking pints!
Nah, you drink plonk.

On the contrary, these are both perfectly legitimate and very helpful
sites, and have been hignly recommended by many knowledgeable

The site you recommend, on the other hand, looks rather suspicious, at
first glance.
