live messanger behaving strangely
last night while using msn live messanger I got a random link that the user I was talking with did not send me username.is-that-you.com and today username.is-thatt-you.com I was dumb enough to click on the link. it opened to a login screen wanting windows live username and login password. I did not give that.. reading the contract below it suggested, That the site would log into my account and send adverts and links to others on my contact list. The user I was talking with said they had not seen such a link b4 themselves. is this a rootkit, a virus?? and how does one get rid of it many many thanks. Tommynz if this is in the wrong forum area could admin put it in the right place.....

It has been going on for years msn have cut it out alot I remember on the old versions of msn there used to be bots where people kept on adding all there contacts and spamming themTo be on the safe side I would download www.free-av.com if you have not got a virus checker just to make sure also use windows defender-------------------------------------------------------Phone Number
