I've been getting it tooo
I've never had it, what version are you both using? I've stayed with 2009 because I didn't like 2011's design.

definitely looks like some kind of spyware.
i suggest all of you install a-patch for whatever messenger version you have installed, it disables ads and the like on your msn windows - should stop that pop up too.

I haven't used MSN in years but it seems like it's related to an advert on MSN trying to download a file for no good reason. It's coming from the MSN domain so it's probably safe.

Oh, I haven't got this at all since I got msn 2011 (like 2 months ago lol) :S.
Ah well, if I ever do see it (I did do that apatch thing though), then I'll just blame Martin; ;)

I had this, it had something to do with Internet Explorer. I used this for a solution on fixing the problem:

Been getting it for a couple of days didn't know it was due to msn until earlier as I downloaded a font yesterday and thought it was due to tjat. I just push cancel is that bad?

No Samanfa, even if you save the mysterious popup from rad.msn.com it wont stop it from asking again, try to follow the guide on the link I proved earlier, it helped stop the popup from happening to me.

Happened to me once on that version, haven't had it since so I'm not sure where it went.
i've never seen it before and i'm using the latest version.
