MSN messenger spam?
anyone know how to get rid of msn messenger spam messages? like random messages thru IM that act like they know you and give you a link to go to see their friends or product?
these are from accounts and emails i did no approve of course.
i added a friend from korea recently that i havent talked to in a while like 4 days ago. and we chatted, it was her of course. but then since then, ive been getting the random spam messages. i even asked her about it and she said something weird happened when she got a message from her brother one day too. so im pretty sure now that i got on her list, im on the spam list.
so whats going on? howd they get past the invite filter? how can i prevent it?
i use trillian at home and meebo at work.

I don't have any suggestions for MSN except to ditch it and use Skype instead. Skype Rocks!
Thats all we use here at our office.
For int calls that is

lol, I've seen this lots of times if I'm seeing the same thing.
THIS is a result of the OTHER person having some kind of spyware that attacks MSN messenger. Sending everyone on their list spam. SHE needs to clean off her hard drive of these spyware programs.
This is assuming were talking about the same thing. It sure sounds like what I'm talking about.
