Default quick Question for the I.T. guys re: MSN sending viruses through to your contacts

First of all, anyone else had a daft message from me over the last couple of days???

Apparently a few people within my contacts have had instant messages sent to them with a link to click which contains a virus!

I've done a scan of the laptop using AVG and it didn't find anything and was wondering if anyone else has had this happen?

cheers.
