How does Google Chrome have anything to do with a Messenger program?

Have you ran a full anti virus scan?
You might just be forced to make a new messenger account.

That's some new kind of virus on the list, haven't heard much about it though. I do use MSN regularly but have not some across such a thing. It is always advisable to run a complete anti virus scan in such cases. Zolga has a right opinion in this matter.

i see those kins of viruses everywhere and been seeing those for at least a year. it's a random message about "hey have you seen my photos lately? (link)" , i got caught the first time, and it started spamming them to everyone on my msn, and would sign itself in even though i closed the program. i look at the add/remove programs in control panel, found this new thing toolbar888. i just removed that and probably did something else and poof its gone. but from then on i knew if these kinds of msgs were viruses because i'd get them from people i dont even talk to.
