It seems you have a virus. YOu need to ensure your AV software is fully updated and run it. If it doesn't find it then you might need to try another one. There are a number of free ones that you can work your way through. Or you can follow teh instructions on that post. editing the registry isn't for the faint of heart as you can make a real mess of your PC. However if you follow the instructions to the letter I see no barrier to doing it properly.

You could in the meantime try using GAIM or Trillion which are other clients that allow you to use MSN. You do need to sort the initial problem though as you have no idea if you have a keylogger sending all your passwords home or not.
