a MSN Virus.

Hello,
I need a little Help for a friend.

He seems to have a virus that effects MSN.
Every time he logs in a New Conversation is opened and closed in a Split Secound.
The Conversation says “Wanna see my new pics before i send em to facebook?” and then asks the person to accept a File under the name “image23.zip”.
I am unsure if the file name changes or not, but as I was typing this, and talking to him (Over MSN) a new file asking to be downloaded called “image26.zip”, so the number may change.

He dose get it to stop after he End’s MSN in the Task Manager’s “Processes” Tab.

He has scanned with Trend Micro’s HomeCall as well as with AVG, and has fixed all that were found(IE Deleting), but doesn’t fix the Problem.

Could anyone help?

I Stupidly accepted the file, and once it was done opened the zip file, but when I saw it was a .exe closed winrar, scanned the .zip with AVG then deleted the file, then emptied my Bin… Do you think I would have this Virus?
Also, AVG did not find anything wrong with the .zip.
Also note, I did not extract the file from the .zip, but looked in it, and did not click the file with in.
