Default CheckMessenger2 Scam

Anyone seen this thing? It's "supposed" to tell you who has deleted you from their MSN. Apparently all the insecure people in the world like it.

Well, it's a SCAM! Don't input your MSN, don't input your password, do not pass Go.

If you have fallen for it, change your MSN password immediately. microsoft.com has instructions on how to do this.

If you have a contact on your MSN contacts list who suddenly has a name change to something like ht tp://checkmessenger2 .net <-- find out who has deleted you from MSN without noticing it!! Then you can change them back to normal my deleting them from your MSN, and re-adding them.

In this day and age, anyone stupid enough to provide a password to a 3rd party deserves everything they get.

Oh, I agree with you wholeheartedly!

But when one's WIFE thinks "Oh, what a great idea!" and gives MY e-mail and password out, then I get really upset!

A very quick password change was carried out. So far, the account has survived intact.

Get the msn 'plus' addon and you can look at who has deleted you or not and its part of msn so no one gets hurt

Never mind, found it.
'Plus' on the toolbar, then 'Contact list clean up'
