    Warning from Kaspersky:

    [hr]

    MSN Messenger Vulnerable to Malicious Code Execution
    The problem resides in MSN Chat control which comes with MSN Messenger
    and MSN Exchange Messenger. The vulnerability can allow an attacker to
    run any code on a victim's system - the results could therefore be
    serious.

    Software versions affected are 4.5 and 4.6 for both MSN Messenger and
    MSN Exchange Messenger.

    Microsoft urges users to update their software.

    You can download the patch at this address:

    Thank you! I put it on immediately. I do not use MSN much but better safe than sorry.
