Virus going thourgh MSN and Yahoo

[grandmaS]

Warning there is a Virus going around the messengers, I got it today, it asks if this is you and if you are dumb enough to click it (I did) it goes in and sends it to everyone on your messengers. Please don't open it and if you get one from me close it right away, I didn't send it.

Also we've been getting a lot of Astrology and Romance spam sent to messenger also

I have not turned my MSN back on, but it keeps popping up so I am not sure if is still a problem. Which scanner are you using ?

I got it to from MSN IM it said it was from you asking if this was me an e-mail addy that included my e-mail addy and my space. So like a dope i clicked on it . As fast as I clicked Microsoft Security Essentials picked it up and cleaned my computer.
phew

I have a question then, When I open MSN it started saying I have a invitation, now it says I have 3 invitations, Is this probably 1 of those viruses? I have never looked at the invites because I had never seen a invite before. I know that is not much info but I am paranoid about checking the invites for the very reason stated above.
