Beware of the MSN messenger malware spamming

This is just a heads up that I have been infected or exposed to this malware via messenger.

Here is the scoop. A couple of nights ago one of my msn contacts sent me a link referencing some new years pics. Seemed innocent enough. The link took me to a page and asked me to log in using my msn credentials. I did and the second I hit enter msn showed my contact offline.

Too late as my credentials had been scooped and my account was used to spam others. So beware....and btw, I almost never send unsolicited links.

Later
