Does Msn Messenger contain viruses?


My laptop has a virus ...im prety careful not to download stuff. But i was told it could be msn, is that true?

no, but if someone wont talk to you on msn and then they suddenly send you a zip folder and say 'do my eyes look blue in this photo?' or something DO NOT open it!!!
because that person isnt really on msn, they went on this website and it gives you a virus on your computer, which enables other people to access your msn. and if you open the folder you get the virus too!

well this is really new to me, there could be a slight chance of a virus getting by msn. i dunno. you might have been attacked by a new kind of viruse that goes via messenger, reminds me of the old days when people went nuts becuase viruses could be attached to pictures, and everyone was scared to load webpages.... ahhh the good ol days.....

well if you downliad msn from the official msn website then it doesnt contain a virus. but if you downloaded msn from a different website then there is a high chance that it contains a virus.

No, nothing currently published by Microsoft contains a virus.

But, anyone can send you a suspicious link over MSN that could have potentially installed a virus.

No. It is a common misconseption, but MSN Messenger is completely clean of viruses and malware.

It can, hower, be effected by them, thus having adware pop up in conversation windows etc. This is normally due to a malware infection which has ultered the registry settings of MSN Messenger to display the message within the program.

I suggest downloading Spybot, Search and Destroy - a free anti-spyware/malware program from http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index... to protect you from any future malware attacks and remove any already infesting your system.

also, you might want to download AVG free antivirus, a brilliant free anti-virus program from http://free.grisoft.com/doc/welcome/us/f... Scan your computer with this and see if it finds anything.

Note: If you already have an Anti-virus and/or Anti-spyware program installed, do not install another one at the same time. This can lead to problems and potential crashes as, due to the nature of the programs, they both try to scan the same file etc.

Nope, download it from the offical windows live website, www.windowslive.com
I suggest you dont download the toolbar with it though coz it ruins the way ur comp looks coz i did it and i ***** get rid ov it.
