Is this a virus? by retrocoder on 02-23-2009 at 09:11 AM

I'm using Messenger Build 14.0.8050.1202

When I go to sign in I get a message that says:

A newer version has been downloaded and is available. You must install this new version in order to continue. Would you like to do this now?

The dialog has two radio buttons saying "Yes" and "No". I obviously select No and nothing happens. I enter my password to sign in and up pops this message. I'm sure this is a virus and no way am I going to select "Yes". Anyone else come across this ? Any idea how to remove this ?

You should be safe to install the new version :)
