right there are a few web pages on the net that claim to be block checkers for msn and im but these are in fact to steal you msn login and password and to spam people with adds
you may also notice you sign out of msn and get a pop up saying " you have been signed in on another computer " this is due to the same problem
i had to tell a few people at school how to get rid of this
all you need to do is change your password and it prevents the scripts from logging in as you
please tell anyone you know who has this problem to change their password as it is doing my head in when i keep getting spammed
the text looks like this
