I have recently recovered my pc due to a trojan that got
on to my pc somehow even though I had an up to date
firewall and antivirus package. As I was trying to get
all the microsoft updates again, I managed to land myself
with blasterworm, which i managed to get rid of.

Anyway, just to get to the point, I sorted my pc and
decided I wanted to use windows messenger, I already have
a msn account and was able to use windows messenger and
msn before this happend. A question popped saying that
before I would be able to use it I would need to update
it so I clicked yes and another box came up with the do
you want to install and run blah blah blah (i cant
remember exactly what it said), I do know that it said it
was from Microsoft.com so I trusted this and ran it,
afterwards my computer went crazy for about three
seconds. It then asked me to restart but i didnt, I had a
feeling something was wrong so I scanned, id picked up
sasser worm. Anyhow, im now rid of this but I still cant
use messenger, everytime I try to get on this I get asked
for the update and its just not happening. I went
directly to microsoft.com website and got a windows
messenger update directly from there and then all of a
sudden my documents were opening on their own...again,
did a scan but nothing this time.

Could someone help me please?

Ive ran every scan possible.
 
Try add/remove programs,windows components,uncheck messenger,
close out restart computer.Then back on desktop,enable messenger,
go to microsoft,search,type:Windows Messenger Home Page,go to the
site,then let it install in the "open" installation (no download).You might
then return to search,type:Windows Messenger Add In It gives messenger
more control with this download in xp.
 
Thank you for that, it seems to have worked :)

Okies, I have a second problem which I hope is my last.

I am trying to get MSN explorer to re add my existing
account to itself. I go through the options and select
that I already have an email...type the email and the
password and all it does is say please wait....all the
time.

Could anyone help me out please?
