Also do a search on your PC for msg.dll files. Make sure you have gone to foldr options and checked Show Hidden Files. Type in the find files and folders msg. If results show msg116.dll, msg118.dll, msg121.dll, etc then you need to download tools and follow explicit instructions for proper removal of the Malware on your PC. ComputerCops.biz has great forums and a guy named 'mosaic1' who seems to have all the solutions to this stuff.
