Default MSN Messenger spam

I keep getting unknown contacts trying to get me to click on their link.

I've had this in the past when friends have had viruses but I don't know any of these so called 22 year old females with big tits

Anyone else having this issue with msn recently ?

Do you use ccleaner? If so go to Tools, Startup and remove the entry for MSN or similar, I can't remember the exact name but it's there.

Dont click on any links unless your mate says im going to send you something.

Normally you tell someone before you send whatever, not just randomly send without even saying hi

I had it from a couple of people...If you click the link it then sends it to everyone in your address book at random intervals

JB...You might miss out on me as a friend if you block all unknown contacts

i remember having one a few years ago that actually carried a conversation with me, ie saying they had a file or pictures of their cars if i wanted to see it, then as the conversation went on (with the real person) i scrolled up to find the link (as i asked them about it saying the link was dead and they had no clue what i was taling about) and that part of the whole conmvo had dissapeared.
