    Can someone tell me what the scoop is on the msncheck.41n.com thats floating around?
    Supposedly it tells you who deleted you off their msn messenger list and my daughter went to this site and put in her passport name and password. That immediately logged her out of msn and when she logged back in it changed her user name to that sites address.

    If you go to any site that is not affiliated with the real company (in this case the real company would be Microsoft) and enter you personal information (login and password) for anything, you are asking for trouble. No valid company will ever ask you for your password except when you login to said valid company's real location. I would close any accounts (for anything) your daughter has and change all passwords.
