On msn my friend got sent this url so she clicked it and it sent a virus to her computer, then the url got automatically sent to all of her contacts, me being stupid also clicked it and now I have the virus, however I didn't run it the whole way through, so my msn hasn't automatically sent the url out to everyone.  However, I still have 3 viruses. One of them has been cleaned and it's called Qhosts.apd but the other two have been McAfee'd twice and it says "cannot be cleaned" and then "cannot be deleted". So I've quaranteed them and they're still there, so at the moment they're being quarantined (or whatever it is). These two viruses are both called NewMalware.i . Well I tihnk they're trojan and not virus's if there's a differance, as you can tell I'm no good with computers. So does anyone know if these are serious ones and I'll have to...tell my dad (yikes).

Ah okay, I've heard of that programme before, were can I look for it? I've had a look on my desktop and I couldn't find it. Then I searched my documents for it. It could be in my network places because this computer is connected to the other computer. But I found another virus scanner thing - Microsoft AntiSpyWare, will that work?

don’t get Norton antivirus, you have MacAfee, that’s fine. If you click on the virus in MacAfee I assume it will send you to a page with more information about it like what files it makes. Just find and delete them.
