Windows live messenger thing

It's been happening a lot with all my friends; where a person on your contact list (it isn't actually the person) sends you a message saying something along the lines of; Is this a pic of you :O with a link next to it.
Don't click the link, your msn account would be sort of hacked and the hacker thing would send the link to your friends.

Just so you all know :)

[Jessicrawrr]

I just got the virus sorted, i didn't need to make a new one :o

[peteyt]

I always ask someone when they send me a link what its for - make sure i know its a real person and not an automated message pretending to be my friend

[Circadia]

Haha, this has been around for at least 5 years, EVERYONE must know about it by now :S!

Basically all you have to do is change your password and do a virus scan.
