Ok there is a simple reason for you still seeing chess on line has mobile.

When you sign into msn it always updates with the latest information about the people on messsager

The virus is telling people that this person is “mobile”, its playing with the msn setting, has most virus do. . It will still behave like msn, when someone logs in they will pop up on msn like normal.

So if you see anyone on msn who is showing has “mobile”, there a good chance they have a computer virus.

Wait till there off line, and then send them message telling them to run ant virus or tell them in a chat room.

Chess is being helped and but unless you have this computer virus and have removed it, its hard to give advice.

This one has been around for about 5 years and most ant virus programs can find the old version, but the new version is bigger and nastier to deal with.

This virus is call “variant “, there have been msn virus before, and in this case someone has taken an old one, play with it and made it hard for most ant virus programs to find.

I would say to most people, if you have an up to date ant virus program and a good firewall, you should be ok.

But the only real defence ageist any computer virus is common senses.

Thanks for that DOA, I still say lets all delete her though lol
