Finally, after some digging I found that bloody tool. Now translated properly already. It was actually released quite a while ago... I asked for help for translating... but nobody replies...
http://www.forospyware.com/Msncleaner/MsnCleaner.zip
Do not click on the link. It brings you directly to their forums. Right click on the link and select Save Link As (Firefox and other browsers users) or Save Target As (IE and IE-based browsers users)
Save it, extract the files and use it.
Best to use it in Safe Mode.
One side effect, it sets the homepage to the removal tool's homepage (www.forospyware.com). Just reset your homepage after it's done.
Edit: Added usage instructions.

like those pictures? is that the virus in tis topic?1. If your friend sends you, you don't accept - not infected.
2. If your friend sends you, you accept but never open the file - may or may not be infected.
3. If your friend sends you, you accept and open the file - chances are you are infected.
The virus is not posted in this topic. However, a few others including me have started topics about MSN virus before.

Are we talking about removing W32.Mimbot.A virus discovered 9 August 2007 by Symantec? Or any MSN virus?

http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2007-081000-2334-99Only those that are sending zipped files. There's another kind of MSN virus spreading, known as Chod, but it won't be provided here. They require special care in handling as it involves some system files.
