MSA Virus in Vista

[Ma_Baker]

Hi all,

Daughter has a new laptop running Vista.

Has got a virus a.exe and MSA.Exe after lending it to a friend.

All my research shows nothing that actually removes the crap from Vista. After multiple googles and searches it prompts to download Spysherif which is another piece of malware.

Does anyone here have first hand experience of cleaning this viri out of Vista.

If so what prog did you use please?

Cheers all
