Bob :
There is something wrong with my msn. Apparently whenever one of my contacts goes online they get a spam message from me that goes along the lines of “HOT! HOT! HOT! www.isexsexsex.com.” Yet I don’t see the message from my end, nor does it ever kick me off as if I’m being logged in somewhere else. I have ran several different spyware scans, none of which have helped fix this. I have tried changing my password and secret question from a clean computer, and I have reinstalled my msn several different times trying a more updated version.
Nothing else on my computer seems to be affected, although I did notice that for about 2 days leading up to this about half of my msn contacts had their names changed to just be their email addresses, and some of the links such as msn today, and the email button wouldn’t show up. I believe I was using the 8.1 version. Right now I just have msn deleted hoping that will stop the spam for the time being.
BTW I have been receiving many similar spams from contacts that were usually a link to some random photo over the months, but I always just instantly closed the convo or blocked them for awhile. However I have not seen any that have the same message as mine that only sends the message when people log on.

Tons of people are having these issues lately, Solution ditch MSN and go with Gmail, it has a WAY better spam filter account plus with a gmail account you get all of Googles services, like Google Docs (free online office suite), google calendar, google reader, youtube account and much more. I used to have MSN but switched and ive never been so happy googles services are far Superior even Googles Web browser Chrome beats the shit out of Internet Explorer and msn.
A friend of mine has just recently had this problem too. Usually, spam messages like this are caused by a virus or spyware finding its way into your computer. Although most computer virus scanning softwares that I’ve seen have a problem detecting these viruses, the best way I’ve found to get rid of them is to simply reformat your computer. If you’re not sure how to do this, it should explain it in the Windows Help and Support section of the start menu. Don’t forget to backup all of your files and programs that you want to keep before doing this though, cuz it will literally restart your hard-drive from scratch. Hope it helps.
I have this EXACT SAME PROBLEM.
The same message is popping up to every one of my contacts, and I have been completely unable to find help for this. I have installed and ran programs specifically designed to remove this, and still nothing.
Spybot didn’t catch it, Adaware, Avast, Nod32, nothing. Nothing will fix this this problem
Try this steps, maybe they’ll help:
