First of all, by this weekend everybody will need to upgrade to the latest version of Messenger. This is for you own good since previous versions contain bugs, or even worse, securty holes.
Second, if 'it' asks you to download some obscure picture than it most likely means you indeed have a virus/worm.
So the first thing you should do now is running some anti-virus program after you have booted up in SAFE MODE.
And after everything is cleaned again, re-download (from official sites) and re-install everything.
----
Please only download from official sites!! Do not fall in the trap of downloading Messenger (or another program) from an unofficial site just because you want to keep on using an old version which is full of bugs and securty issues.
Remember that in many cases, whenever you have virus, your contacts in Messenger and other contacts like the ones from you address books in Outlook or other email program, are in danger too! Many worms/virus spread by using email. So all those people can get infected too.
Hence, being safe is not only a good thing for yourself, but also for your contacts...
