Ehm, is that really you??? w*w.poweredpixel.com/msn/show-$msnaddy

The following text gets automatically typed in to all messenger contacts who are online, whether or not you are chatting with them. If messenger is switched off, this message is typed in periodically into the active window.

I have run virus scans of Symantec Norton Antivirus as well as Windows Defender. None have found anything. I have scanned list of running processes and again there is no unknown process. The startup registry keys also have nothing unknown there.

This virus seems to have been mainly made against MSN Messenger.
Other than the auto-type in messages, the computer is running normally.

Would greatly appreciate anyone who can help. I am on the verge of reformatting my disc.
