Not gamerelated post this time, but still computer related.

A friend of mine was sending me a file, mp3 file to be exact. As usually it took over and hourto receive this file over msn, even if it was only a few mb.

When it had finally arrived, I of course clicked the link. Instead of launching Winamp, I get a message window from my dear friends at Microsoft. They had come to the conclusion this file might possibly be harmful to my computer, so it was decided to "block access" to it.

Blocking access in this case seems to mean to permanently delete the file. At least I can't find any trace of it on my hdd.

This by definition is how a virus behaves. Msn messenger is a virus that spreads through the internet, when people click a link to download what they believe is an IM program.

Instead they get adware that deletes your files.

Think I will stop running this horrible horrible **** and settle for Skype and googleTalk. Please give me back the good old ICQ over this damn horror, no matter how annoying it may be.
