MS Antispyware is not an antivirus program. What antivirus program do
you have installed? Name, version, and whether the definitions are
current please.

Microsoft antispyware protects against spyware, and does nothing
to protect you against viruses. If you are relying on that alone,
it's highly probable that you *do* have a virus.
You need three kinds of software to protect you these days:
1. A firewall
2. An anti-virus program
3. Several (at least two) anti-spyware programs. No single
program does a good-enough job. I recommend that you also run
Spyware Blaster, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Ad-aware.
Also note that ant-virus and anti-spyware programs are only as
good as their definition files. It's not sufficient to run these;
you also have to update them regularly.
