MSN spammers (bots)

Unlike yahoo or ICQ messengers, there is no "this is a spammer" button for
messenger.

In the last few weeks the number of bots running on messenger and spamming
me has risen astronomically.

I would have mentioned a few, (not including the spam targets which may
either be another messenger account, or a website, usually a "webcam" site
but I can't even cut and paste from my ignore list composed by clicking the
block button upon receipt of messenger spam.

There needs to be a better way to get this infestation of messenger spammers
shut down.

To report a SPAM contact on Windows Live Messenger, click Block and then
select "Block and report abuse" (portuguese translation, may be a different
text in your version).
