I was talking to Spider earlier, when suddenly, on my screen, popped 'Would you like to accept the file 'shoot George Bush'. I clicked no, since it sounds carp. Then down the bottom of the window appeared '[email protected] and Spider are typing'.
'How could this be' I thought - I was only in a conversation with Spider, and no one else. Then I was bombarded be loads of ;) (winky) faces from Spider. I demanded Spider to tell me what he was doing, but he said he knew nothing, and that he could not see the winky faces.

I think this happened to me once before Spider.

My guess is that is a virus. When you run it it tries to send itself to others via MSN, and then annoys the heck out of you.

Am I right? Has anybody else experienced it?

Once you start a conversation, it gets sent anyway. There's no stopping it.

Yeah, I've just had a conversation with him, and he just wanted to see what was being said in the MSN speech window. Almost got the virus myself, if it wasn't for my virus checker.
