Msn Links

Hi guys i keep getting website links sent from friends whom do not send them
why and how do i fix it, I got one tonight from my couson whom was here
with me and not even online

help please

Greetings,

What kind of links are these?

There's probably two possibilities, the first is that they are infected with a virus or worm
which is starting Messenger and sending messages on their behalf (this is most the likely),
the second is that they've sent the links as offline messages and forgotten (obviously less
likely).

My Wife and Nephew have also told me the same thing but I can't seem to stop
it from happening. It seems that I send them random website addresses and
strange messages when I'm not online. I had McAfee running and it didn't pick
upanything. I've recently installed AVG and ran a full scan but again this
didn't pick up anything.

Any suggestions?

Regards
