Here I am browsing happily away, when suddenly, I see brief flashes of MSN Messenger popping up, basically iterating through all my contacts. I'm assuming it's sending out spam messages to my contacts....<br /><br />Does anyone have an idea what piece of software causes this? I'm running a completely updated McAfee virusscanner, and also have Spybot S&D running.

Conveniently, it lists this operation as "trusted", and just let it do its thing.
