I doubt it because as we all know (from researching the ani-dp topic) MSN strip out any extra chunks in a PNG transfered like comments etc.... so i would think any virus code would first have to break the way MSN strips it down and then be sent..... although it is probably possible i doubt its been done at the moment.... and even if it did happen it wouldnt be long before MS released a patch... you would just disable CE a DP till its out
