O.P. Undecided  WLM 2009 giving link messages to contacts? Help?
Hi not sure how to describe whats happening other then showing conversation when I logged in after a week of not opening IM at all.
I have the latest WLM 2009 also.

05/02/2009  08:17:23 PM  M I K E Did you send me some links? 

05/06/2009 07:57:00 AM  M I K E   I cant recall....... what the links were  ............I hope you didn't log in at that site

05/07/2009  04:21:51 AM  M I K E   thatzparty link.

05/07/2009  04:25:17 AM  M I K E  if you did NOT send me that link (ThatzParty.com/?image=DSC00245.JPG) date-my-im site then you had better change your msn/hotmail password right now

05/07/2009  04:26:08 AM  M I K E  and beware of ANY non msn site that asks for your msn log in

05/07/2009  06:43:37 AM  M I K E    New dirty trick tries to hack your MSN password......ONE OF YOUR msn contacts sends you a link......the trick link has YOUR username in it.......Don't click it........then notify the sender that he needs to change his MSN password

05/11/2009  01:11:09 AM  M I K E  all you need to do is change your password 

05/11/2009  01:11:13 AM  M I K E  and.........

05/11/2009  01:11:43 AM  M I K E  dont enter your msn log-in at any non msn site

05/11/2009  01:12:23 AM  M I K E    read the web address carefully before log-in

not everyone has contacted me, but several people have, most know me and that I would not be part of such sites. Seems its just happening to those who did last update? I hope people are working to fix it, I am thinking I should uninstall IM,  reboot, run scans, before reinstalling.
My security on im is I do not let people see me unless I know them.
From another conversation with a different person

of course I know you dont do that, thats why I knew something was wrong. You're not the only one having this trouble, think there is something wrong with Live's security

renee said (04:51 AM):
Havent received any links anymore but I do see you come on line for a minute or so and then go offline again, although I cant remember if that happened yesterday as well, I know it happened about 5 times on sunday

and note Sunday was Mothers day and I was not sitting at the computer at all, so its some glitch at windows live end.
I have been doing scans and even did a hijack this with friends help, all checks out clean. Clean but for links being sent when I was not on line. Seems to have started beginning of may, if that helps you solve things.
