If a user called flippin_james@hotmail.com adds you to your msn, don't accept it. its a virus.

I did not find any info on google but someone did tell me so just thought I'd post in case anyone does receive any requests to accept.

How can accepting someone on your msn list can infect you?

that's a question I always ask myself. Never added some one who was globaly described as a virus spreader, exept my cotenant [he believes that antivirus and firewall sucks. I agree but I prefer to use a protection, even if it's only a little one]

Yeah not sure how it works, maybe there's an exploit to execute code remotely or something.

Ya, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for that. After all, I don't expect any new contacts, so it'll be obvious

Yeah only time I get a request is when someone tells me they'll add me, so I say yes, otherwise I say no
