MSN Virus Wont Let Me Login

[Vapor]

just recently my younger brother got a virus over msn that automatcally resends itself to all his contacts.

i did a online scan from pandoras site and it found the virus so i got rid of it (i hope). after i restarted the computer it will go the the login screen but everytime i click my username it logs in and out over 2 seconds.

is there a way i can get back on?

oh and if i wipe the C:\ partition can still access the files from my X:\ drive

i also tried safe mode

please help

ummm the virus probbly changed your msn's connection settings like TCP and PROXY...thats most likely how the virus would work....then again i just got a error and i couldn't login either..check the server status..

you probably know wich virus it was (probably the one with jenny lopez and the frog in the blender....)

Check http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/tools.list.html there is probably a removal tool for it. This way you be more sure it's gone :)

good luck with it
