WARNING! VIRUS ALERT! MSN Messenger users must read this!
In MSN, if someone repeatedly asks you "Hey, would you like to see my new picture?" followed by "I took it yesterday", followed by "here you go" and a request to accept a file transfer, DO NOT ACCEPT. The person isn't typing this themselves; it's a virus.
Accepting the file transfer will result in all sorts of weird things happening to Messenger. For instance, new windows will open when you type a message instead of putting the message in the existing window, and people talking to you via MSN will have the message "Hey, would you like to see my new picture?" etc repeatedly sent to them, but it won't actually appear on your screen.
The good news is, it is possible to delete the virus, and it won't actually harm your computer, but it's a pain in the bum and spreads like wildfire.
