Fake Messages

Hello,
I keep receiving messages through MSN from people who are in and not in my
contactlist, they usually state something like: He I have won a laptop go
to......and see for youreself.
People in my list have told me they have been receiving the same type of
messages from me.
Can someone tell me how I can stop receiving and sending these fake messages?

Actually in our chat window in the name of an image file,a link to a ?zip? extension or an E.X.E file is appearing.

(eg:-http://srv057.imageshares.info:88/displayphoto009.jpg.zip)

If this virus strike your computer then there will be a festival of messages. a number of messages will appear in your chat box in the name of your friends(eg:- hurrrrey,r u dre,look at my new my space photo etc)

Some of these messages or viruses in this case will frequently ?open and close? and makes your system hank.

We can escape from these ?fake message malwares through filtering the link using your anti virus program, but even the latest anti-virus soft wares are not noticing these viruses.There is also a chance for your anti-virus to freeze.

So, think twice before clicking a link sent to you by a friend , always make sure they are not ending with ?.zip? or ?.axe?

Immediate Solution:
>>> Dont receive any links..
>>> Uninstall all the messengers and reinstall
>>> Repair the operating system.. it will be okay.
