Re: Block Checker (MSN)

Think it's a tool that can in theory tell you wether the people on your MSN contact list are really offline or just blocking you from seeing their status. Last time I saw it though it was suffering severe server issues.

More information at McAfee http://uk.mcafee.com/virusInfo/defau...virus_k=135579 on this one. Nasty piece of adware, it seems.

One of the simplest ways to remove it apparently is to do a 'system restore' to the previous setup (assuming nothing has been installed since) and it should be gone.
