its probably not a virus.

It is a bot that is logging into your msn account and sending the link to other people.

Change your msn's password then see if it happens again if it does it is most likly a virus or spyware.

Try this to see if it picks up anything

I would recommend uninstalling MSN asap! Run Adaware-SE, Spybot S&D and Avast afterwards! If they detect nothing re-install MSN and see how its going!

yea your right well there is no harm in doing everything that is suggested. As spyware can be very nasty.
