Just a warning for people who use MSN, there is a new virus being sent round. If you get a message off someone saying 'look at this picture of you' or 'look at this video' and the website doesn't look real, don't click the link as it will install a virus and it's a real hell to get rid of .

what version are you running? because whenever someone adds me I get a dialog box come up asking if I want to add them or block them. Therefore I need to add them before they send a message!
using 7.5

What is the point of adding/allowing people you don't know/know of?

Ahhh, I bet they had some mean viruses for the original MSN when it was that portal based ISP that looked like Windows 95, that lasted about 3 months

Yes. Why would I have people I don't know on my contact list?
