Can be too easily exploited.
As I said, even if you accept a file transfer without thinking, you still need to open it. You usually also need to confirm a message box that appears with EXE files downloaded from other people or websites. Then your antivirus might make objections about the file when you try to run it.
Most importantly, bots and scripts cannot initiate file transfers, meaning the file HAS to be coming from your contact. If it's a virus, they obviously don't like you very much, or don't know about it themselves. Links can be sent by any script that can send messages over the MSN protocol.

anyway, I like the idea of a shortcut key to open the last URL posted in the convo, but I guess it'll make the computer slow because the script will have to search the convo for it and I sometimes talk for hours so it would be a huge convo
The script would save the URL to a variable when it is received. You wouldn't have to search through anything.
EDIT2:
Because I can't update the FindLinks script (I'm on WLM 2011), I've made a lite version that can open the last link received. It then shows a confirmation box with the url, the contact that sent it and the browser it will open in. These confirmations can be turned off at the moment by changing a variable at the top of the script. I couldn't test this as I wrote it as scripts aren't accessing the chat windows properly yet in 2011. If there are any problems let me know
EDIT3:
Command is /lurl btw
