ok, 2 of my contacts have been sending these links, i don't normally talk to them and when they do, they sign in and out rapidly afterwards so i thaught i shouldn't click it

just out of curiosity, what does it do? i might already know but just to be sure..

Well.. I didn't know the link and never had these messages with WLM contacts... Anyway... I woudn't click on the links...

2 of my friends also have this too.

They are idiots and don't read that 1) Block checkers do not work and 2) Did not read the TOS.

.NET Passport Policy: By using this service you optin receiving email advertising from blockdelete.com. Your messenger contacts will receive an advertising message from you when you use this service.

It's not a _virus_ per say. But the only way to fix this is to tell your friends to change their password I suppose.

ok thanks, i don't normally click links people send unless its youtube, bebo or they give me a vague description of it

Well some of the "smarter" ones also come with a vague message...so you might wanna ask some specific questions as to what it is...and if they don't respond, chances are that they are NOT sending it.

Aproximately 30 out of my 1700~ contacts now (more than one account), now have that problem, and they've attempted to change their passwords but that isn't working, they believe it to be something actually on their computer.

Site Advisor info

Now I know site advisor can be inaccurate at times but it still can be used as a basic guide.

don't click on that.  It's just like virus. after you click on that it will automatically sign you in and out ...it's bad...it happened to my msn msg. and it always send that link to my friends on msn list...does anyone know how to fix that? or can msn do something about it?

Windows live messenger should ban that link from there service so knowone can send it?

If they were going to have that initiative, they'd have a million websites blacklisted and would have to continuasly update the protocol. This is why they've added the security feature to disable links via the options panel.
