I would get her to make a new account and delete her old one, or get a new security question as stated above. However i think a totally new account would be best.

because if this person is able to  hack msn then he is pretty good

Don't listen to this guy.

So check gf 's local computer and make sure there are a good firewall is installed shuch as zone alarm . I think zone alarm will mostely help you by blocking the already installed maclious software when it using the winsock APIs .

I think she should get a new account

I second this.

so my girlfriends MSN keeps getting hacked... when it happens they go through all her emails and then delete everything and get passwords for other things. im pretty decent with command "viruses" for example i can make a file that deletes everything off the computer, so i want to know how much trouble i can get in if i sent it through her email and the person opened it... and if thats looking like a bad option what else can she or i do... shes all ready changed her password a few times

First, this is not a virus.  This is a human.

Second, you should first consider securing your girlfriend's account.  Tell her to change her password and security question (assuming she's using a hotmail account).  Even better, get her to switch to Gmail. :)

Wow, a file that can delete everything?  No.  If you're thinking about del *.* commands, they won't work if someone randomly opens them in this day and age.  It'll work when someone boots from MS-DOS, but won't work if someone double-clicks it to open it in an email.  They'll get some kind of error.

I am not dannay

It's probably some boyfriend she mets on the internet or stuff like that.

I going to be radical on the solution for your problem :
Format your Hard Drive,
Install a good Anti-Virus,
Change your email password,
Stop downloading files over msn, mIrc or whatever she keeps doing the whole time over the internet.

Problem solved.

Can you answer something to me ?
How many people on your house knows how to use a computer...

Seriously, it's not an anti-virus that will keep you safe over the internet, it's funny how people believe they are safe just because they are using a good firewall and an anti-virus...

installing a good anti-virus and fire-wall is just one of the measures.
