[Sticks]

Someone, who will remain nameless suggested I get some free "winks" for MSN instant messenger from a certain website

Without thinking properly, I downloaded one, installed it and now my PC is suffering some kind of attack

More details of the saga here

I am now looking at trying to raise the money to pay a professional to see if he can fix it.

I have a lot of important stuff on my PC and with one of my software tools the installation discs disappeared during a redecoration of my flat last year. So I need to get a fix without the "nuke" option of reformatting and rebuilding from scratch.

I have already spent $42.94 (Canadian Dollars) to register software which promised a fix and did not solve my problem.


So STAY AWAY FROM MSN WINKS!!!!!!!

Especially when talking to me on MSN at the moment.
