its a spyware on your computer u will have to go through the files on your "my computer" and find the folder it is placed in and delete it manually if not then you could just re-format your PC, but u will loose everythin on ur PC.

I've got rid of loads of these things for people...

Go to control panel and the add/remove programs. In there, there's an item called "block-checker", just remove that. Once thats done, hold control (ctrl) and alt and press delete. From here you can go to processes. In this list there should be a program called block-checker. Highlight this program and click end process.

Once you've done that, exit MSN and then re-open it. Signing out won't work, you must restart MSN.

Hope that helps
