Using hotmail, just pick the names from the address book, tick all of them and press ok... that will then send to them all :)

or you can add them all to a group, which saves having to tick all the names again next time...... ;)

Oh dear, lol. If you are using the online housecall scan most of the time it can't clean the files for me, avast does the job fine though.

Setting up hotmail (probably the same for msn too) is quite easy actually... if there is the @hotmail.com suffix then it'll automatically set up the rest of the settings for it.

Did the virus send them via hotmail ? If it did then I would expect msn to have anti virus software that would intercept them before they went anywhere.
