Msn Spam/Spyware?

Hi

Seems later versions of MSN Messenger do allow for users not on your contacts list to send you messages, you can add them to your blocked user list or one method that may work is to open MSN up and click Tools > Options > Privacy and tick the Only Allow Users on my Allow list to send me messages and apply.

Also I would be tempted to change your MSN Messenger email passport to another one as its possible you have posted your email address online or used on a website that sold your email address on, in which spammers use to send messages, I have a specific email address for MSN Live thats not used in the wild, only for MSN and a few limited specific sites that I know are ok in regards to privacy.

It is also possible with some virii that its not you infected but someone on your contact list so they are unwittingly sending you spam.


If you wish to check your clear of malware then you will have to follow the READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide and attach logs, but I do feel its not malware on your PC, but the latest way spammers are attacking us, so blocking is only way at present until the Instant Messengers add auto spam blocking to their arsenal.
