Hi

Looking for some help.

I have just recently started to receive unmwelcome
messages from a company saying that 'my pc is open to
attack as, as this message demonstrates'.

It claims that the message is delivered via msn messenger?

Any help on preventing these unwanted messages apperaing
on my screen would be great.

Im neither lazy nor have a reading problem.

Thanks, however, for telling me that the question has
been asked and answered on numerous occasions.

Only my ignorance had me believe that I was describing
my 'problem' accurately.
