I.. I'd really like to know what you're on about so I know what to avoid but I struggle to make sense of your post. Please elaborate?

I'm very confused by what you're trying to say, it doesn't seem to make sense.

I think though you're referring to the MSN Phishing sites? Basically people are going on websites such as ones offering to show who has blocked them. They enter their MSN email and password onto these websites. It then steals these details and begins spamming your friends list at different times, trying to send them viruses and steal their details too. I know an awful lot of people who have fell for these, all you need to do is change your password and it'll stop usually.

Probably that thing like "Hey is this you? dodgy link here."

As Jordy said, simply change your password and should be sorted.

If he's on about that then its a virus

If not then somebody has your friends password and multi-sign in is enabled in their msn client

I nearly fell for this one on my Twitter.

Yeah, I get these all the time. Basically, don't hit the links.

Chances are the guy/gal got a spreader (worm) and with that there also a chance of RAT. I reccemend scanning the computer.

Doubting the chance about 10 of us have clicked links I'm sure thats not really the cause.
Basically people are sending messages to specific people whilst we're still signed in or even on cam to eachother (not like that ) any ideas?
