This is due to security vulnerabilities present in MSN Messnger software.
There was an security update issued for this matter (KB890261). They are
forcing folks to upgrade to the latest version to alleviate making matters
worse. Just upgrade your Messnger apppliation like they are stating...

Greg while I appreciate the fact that you are way ahead of me on the "tech"
stuff? upgrading isnt an option.. nothing happens when I click on the
download.. it starts and freezes... so there you are and Iam not going
anywhere with my msn... guess I will have to just give up chatting with my
children.. Iam in my late 70's and have pretty much learned all this
alone???? is there a disk available that microsoft can send me or I can buy?
thanks Greg...

Sorry. There's no need to order a CD or pay for anything. It's a free
download from their website. Type http://messenger.msn.com/download/ into
your web browser's Address window and you will be on your way to the latest
update.
