You may be in a convo with someone, who then suddenly changes font to have your font and asks to send you a photo that they took yesterday. Whatever you do, DO NOT ACCEPT the photo as this is a virus, someone is trying to destroy your hard drive.
>Insert name here< would like to send you the file "PIC1324(2)(1).exe" (49 Kb). Transfer time is less than 1 minute with a 28.8 modem. Do you want to Accept (Alt+T) or Decline (Alt+D) the invitation?
Just a word of warning, take care, and be careful!!!
All it is is the "annoying worm".
It started repeating conversations in MSN.
My hard drive was unnaffected although this might be because Norton zapped it the next day.
Changed my font and asked if he wanted to see my picture I took yesterday!......
I dont think he got it!....... :-)

It's a rubbish conversation, but it's cunning yes, so don't accept.
Good way to get rid of someone in your convo though!
"Hey, you want my pic?
I took it yesterday"
">insert name of hated person> has left the conversation"
"woohoo"
Dont accept things on msn from people you hardy know!
