0,99% of people actually downloaded and executed a malicious file which made them vulnerable to outsiders. But because this requires the outsider to be very l33t, this is also rare (considering all the billions who never get "hacked")
0,01% of people are really getting hack. But I can assure you that this is extremely rare!
(note: figures are not to be taken literally, they are just here to proof the point)
I dont mess around with my messenger files, nore do i download malicious files. Im very safe with what i do, believe me. Yeah you may be right, maybe i did mess around, but how it explains that "You have signed into msn messenger at another location" pops up, whilst not having WM or any other version of messenger running, and bare in mind it did this
twice , to me, doesnt seem like a faulty installation
