I have a virus in my msn. It sends a link to all my friends everytime I log on. My virus scanner doesn't seem to recognise it. How do I get rid of it?
The virus I keep finding tips on involves pictures. The one I have involves a link that claims to show you who has blocked or deleted you.

what's your virus scanner? (please don't tell me it's Norton!!)

try some free online scanning from this site.

first get rid of messenger, then scan in safe mode with virus scanner and a good spyware scanner.

Yeah, that virus is really annoying. No virus/spyware scanner can catch it since it's actually a very simple virus. I recommend asking on Bleepingcomputer.com's forums for step-by-step information on getting rid of it.

Here's a thread on that forum that's related to your problem: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=109284&hl=messenger+automatic+file+transfer
