just letting you know about it!

Maybe spyware or malware that affects im clients
i think
once i had one that send a url of a virus

yeah, i've seen a few of these around...

yeah,  it's a virus, where you download the add-on, run it with MSN,  and it will do what it says, but also send out an ad to everyone you open a convo with.  The other thing it does is remove all ads that are sent to you.

Is it im-names? Tell your friend to follow there steps -

• Close Messenger and Press Alt+Ctrl+Del.
  
• Task manager opens up.
  
• There go to the process tab.(if you don't find it see points 4 n 5)
  
• Right click on any program.(only for point 3)
  
• Chose go to process.(only for point 3)
  
• Locate the im-svr.exe process.
  
• Right click on it.
  
• Click on end process tree and not end process.
  
• Go to C: program files/im-names and delete the folder.
  
• Restart messenger.
