I haven't used MSN for years. I think the last time I used it was about 5 years ago.
I use Facebook chat more than anything now (as an IM client).
Other than that I use Facebook to keep in touch in general through status updates etc...

Rumor about FB had some kind of virus :/ That was from my mothers and her work folks, so I wouldn't take it as gospel  MSN is still playing up for me, as is FB, stupid things... Time to download Pidgin methinks. _________________Just your friendly neighbourhood mars-bar-man.flickr

Won't help. It's a network-level issue. I was using Adium last night.

I'm having no problems at all with MSN
apart from that crap that loads into a new window whenever I log on since I downloaded the latest version.

You need to turn it off in the options. It's been there for years, but mine turned itself back on again after the last update. Menu > Tools > Options > Sign In > Show Windows live spam when I sign in Un-tick the box. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

I heard that at work too. Apparently, an application called "Fan Check", which promised to present you with a list of your top friends based on your profile visits, was in fact a virus. Peter. _________________A Mac user

So how exactly did it work? Did it infect the people who used it? Or the the FB servers? _________________Just your friendly neighbourhood mars-bar-man.flickr

I believe it infected their Facebook profile in some way, although I'm not sure how. It certainly never infected their actual computer. Peter. _________________A Mac user

I was wondering about that myself. Twitter gives me 403 "forbidden" messages every few hours, Facebook has been playing up - I've had a friend request I haven't been able to view, chat keeps playing up etc...
