Windows Live (Msn) Messenger Spam

Over the past few months I've been receiving a lot of MSN Spam from friends via MSN Messenger. Examples of it include:


Most of these messages are being sent whilst the sender is actually offline, they have probably inadvertantly clicked on a website link which has sent them to a false MSN.com, Hotmail.com, or Live.com website which they have logged in on using their email and password. This has then been sent directly to the spammer which have now been logging in and spamming all the people on your contact lists.

The best way to stop this is to sign in the the correct Website where your msn passport is. ie msn.com, hotmail.com or live.com...even yahoo.com dependant on which messenger program you are using. Then change your password.

For peace of mind, also run a scan on your PC for Malware, Spyware and Virus's.

Meebo

My friend just introduced me to a web-based chat client called Meebo: http://www.meebo.com/ so far you can use it to log into your existing chat accounts like Facebook, Msn, Yahoo, AIM, Myspace, Googletalk, ICQ, Jabber, Flixter, Piczo, Wadja & Zorpia (I have no idea what the last 4 are). If you create your own account with Meebo, all you need to do is logon once and it auto-logs on to all of your chat accounts. It certainly makes for a lot of online contacts.
