I use adium most of the time (sometimes amsn) and now I'm getting messages like "hey! want a free dating site with no hold backs? meet someone local today that wants the same thing you do at" and then a link is provided. I get one of these everyday, from an address which I don't even have on my contact list.
Is this a virus or trojan or something? What do I do?

Probably viruses spread through multiple ignorant Windoze users... *sigh* I get that all the time in Emesene. I just ignore it.
-
I thought that perhaps I have the virus. Oh goody if I don't have it.
-
Just dont click on any links that may be in the IM, and you should be good. I used to get them a lot on an old Yahoo messenger s/n
-
Have you run malware scans yet, just to make sure it isn't simply spam? I doubt your machine is infected, but if this issue were mine, I'd scan just to be sure the machine is clean.
-
They are spam. MSN is probably the worst offender when it comes to spam. You don't have a virus.
-
Yeah, it's common MSN spam. Everyone gets them so it's nothing to be worried about.
-
But I haven't run a single anti-virus or anti-malware or trojan program since I got this macbook. Nothing. Do I need to? If so, what are some good and common programs? -
I never get any spam on msn.....but I get it always on yahoo, which I simply ignore
-
I use to get them on yahoo i think. Never on AIM or MSN. But i dont use MSN that much.
