I dont know if this has been posted already but I got it from a security forum The malware commonly known as Winfixer aka Errorsafe is being distributed via MSN Messenger banner advertisements. This has been reported to secure and they and the MSN ads team are investigating. http://msmvps*com/blogs/spywaresucks/archive/2007/02/18/591493.aspx ..........John

I used to use Messenger but got rid of it - too many security alerts and I found it very intrusive. I don't always want everyone to know I'm online!!! ;-) Cheers, Horatia

I love messenger! :) You can always change your status so that people know you're busy/away from your computer or you can 'appear offline' - then you know who's there if you want to chat, but they don't bother you unless you change your status. Laura
