Can anyone tell me whether Messenger has any virus issues, I had heard something about Msm some time ago but don't exactly know what it refered to; also whether Skype is safe to use.

 

My friend uses a hotmail/Messenger account and had Skyped me the other night, when we finished I had a message informing that I had two threats on my system!  

 

Webroot was able to erase these for me (thank you Webroot) but it's a bit worrying that I might get infected everytime I use Skype.
Hello LoopyLinda,

 

My advice would be to make sure you have the latest Sype /updates as shown here by ?

As for Microsoft Messenger ...have a look here https://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/antivirus-im.aspx

 

And here from Skype  http://www.skype.com/en/security/

 

 

Hope this helps?
