Is anyone else having problems with MSN instant messaging?
I keep getting this message from my friends (but it isnt really them) that are links to a virus, i think. Is anyone else having this problem?

I have got this as well.
People in your buddy list will email, or message you a link.
DO NOT CLICK
This is a link to a virus that will take over your msn account and chain send viruses to all your friends.
Who ever was used to send that link is infected and needs to change there password ASAP

I hadnt known it at first, as it had came from one of my best friends. Then I realized what was going on and i changed my password. Does anyone know how to send a complaining email to MSN?

Same thing is happening to me right now. Just started a few weeks ago. This guy I dont even know who added me for some reason keeps sendin me links now sayin stuff like "Do you want to see my new photo before I put it on facebook?" and then a file. On his name but on msn it actually says "Do not click whatever I send you! Its a virus!" So atleast the little guy knows about it. Might delete his account from my friends list then if he keeps tryin to send me the damn files. I actually clicked accept for one of them wihout knowing it was a virus just to shut him up but I cancelled it as it froze halfway through the upload...Thank God lol. Who knows what woulda happened if the file actually transfered Shocked
