| think you need to change your password first, but as to how to get rid of it, you need an expert, and there are several on here, so hopefully someone will give you the answer. If not, go into a shopsuch as Laconic, kyrenia and they will help you, I am sure. |

| Padisha.
Are you running a free version of your anti virus??
I had the same problem with AVG so I updated to the paid version 2 years for 35 euro's. Then I ran a check which found the virus and got rid of it.
I hope this is of some help. |

| These sort of infections are usually spyware which are not always detected by Antivirus software.
You will need to use a spyware cleaning software to do the job.
If this too complicated for you I can help.

| Download and run malwarebytes for free and this will detect and delete any spyware or malware you have on your pc |

| This is also a problem with two or three of my UK friends. They changed their password and it stopped. |

| @msg 6, changing the messages might stop messages being sent, but I doubt that it will kill the virus.
I highly recommend adaware, http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php . Free version works in the background, detects and kills viruses and spyware. If this dont fix it, you should seek professional help.
