Windows Live Messenger virus?microsoft word we got this virus and the only way that I found to get rid of it was to go into CONTROL PANEL... into.. ADD AND REMOVE PROGRAM FILES....... and delete WINDOWS INSTALLER and MESSENGER... and then have to re-download messenger. An anti-virus will not find it and this was the only way to get rid of it without a total reformat

Free and and you'll never get a Windows virus again.
Ask them to try removing the malware by running their antivirus and antispyware applications while in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode, reboot and then either hold down or tap the F8 key repeatedly while the computer is starting up.
Regarding how the malware proliferates, it can sent in the form of an attachment (pictures, files) or it could be a malicious link so confirm with your contacts that they actually did send it before opening and always scan in advance.
Many people don't have antispyware applications so here are some free ones for your consideration.
