Im confused about how there could be a virus on my computer when I just loaded windows XP up on my laptop today.(11/17/05)

I used to get messages like that with my MSN messenger. Chances are, its just an advertisement, using and exploit on your computer. You should still run a virus scan but also update your windows. A popup/spyware/adware blocker should help.
