    MSN Messenger Hacked?

    So I just got home and I turn on my monitor to find someone has sent me a message via MSN messenger. Nothing out of the norm. I look at the message and it says something like "lol is this you" with a link below which appears to be a link to some type of photo gallery on msn. It opens up and installs something. I contacted a few people on my list who all recieved multiple similar messages from people on their "buddy list" Most got emails to their MSN email accounts as well with the same link. Watch out for this one. Its a trojan of some type. The beta Microsoft Anti-Spyware caught it as it installed and stopped it from being added to the processes that start at windows start up. Just wanted to give you all a heads up. Have a good evening!
