Hi all,

If you get an msn message from any of your contacts asking why you are on a staff list, followed by an http link, which then shows your email address as part of that link, "do! not! click! it!" It's a virus. I don't know what it does, but it sends automated messages from people's msn accounts to their contacts. so what ever happens, do not click on any strange links.

I have actually seen this, I've seen 2 cases from 2 different people in less than an hour
