Just got forwarded this on msn telling me up update my msn messenger against some trojany whatever. Linking me to:

http://msnupdate.qn.com/

The "QN" made me suspicious.

I dont think it's a real MSN page. Also the 'update' file is hosted at:

http://home.earthlink.net/~marchetto/

A free hosting site


Seems rather hoaxy.

.exe files are bad.

Die files die.
