I only remember a couple scenes about it.

The first thing I remember is that the protagonist is a teen girl, who I believes lives in a space station with her family that orbits the Earth. I think she was blonde?  
There’s a computer virus involved, which is visually represented by an animated gif which “eats” computer programs by passing over the window for that program like a lawnmower  
The girl had got her hands on the virus or something (either at the beginning of the movie or the end idk), which was a small grey plastic device the size of a thumb but thicker, I think it might have just been a storage device.  
She ended up having to go to Earth while the space station her family is on deals with a series of technical issues which later turn out to be caused by the virus.  
she and a few friends she met on Earth try to get to the bottom of it, which is a race with time to solve the problem before the space station is destroyed  
when the station is saved, the computer of the villan gets a virus which is represented by an animated gif if the girl’s head which deletes data by “eating” the program window in passes.

I think the setting was ecofuturism? I remember watching it before Spy Kids but i think it was from that era or slightly older. I believe this would’ve predated Windows XP, the computers ran something that looked like Windows 95 or Mac OS 9. The monitors may have been LCD screens,
