Re: msn suprise

I've run anti spyware checks etc. I DON'T think than my system is infected or hijacked.

Does anyone have any information about the mentioned site which might be of interest?

Edit

As it's late (4am) I'm going to bed now. I look forward to any suggestions, but I'll run a hijack this log tomorrow just incase it drags up anything. I doubt it is a problem due to being hijacked etc, as I was sent the link by a single contact and it was sent to a single (but different) contact.) But then, to be honest, I'm puzzled as I have not seen anything like this before, and I would like to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I'm more curious as to the nature of the link, as I would quite like to be able to ensure my contacts computer is ok. (It is a family computer which I don't have immediate access to) so I would really appreciate any information as to where this link might have come from, and why it has been automatically sent on by msn messenger)

Funny; I do.

Your instant messaging program is sending out specially coded links to your contacts, all by itself, and you don't think you're infected with anything?
