Clever people don't.
With MSN M you can make your AV scan the file as it's being sent.

People send them to you on MSN Messenger, sometimes they don't realise and sometimes the virus sends itself.

Here's a new one:

Watch out for instant messages -even when they come from good friends and family- which look like this:

"OMFG! http://[some_domain_name]/handcuffs.pif"

OMFG can be similar words, like LOL, LMAO, SO COOL or ROFL. This is a new worm, probably a Bropia variant, spreading around MSN Messenger disguised as a hyperlink to a file called handcuffs.pif (which is hosted on random domains, like for instance members.chello.nl/g.geurts). When you click the link and thus activate the download of this file, a jpg of a handcuffed girl will be extracted (which some of you didn't seem to mind) and in the background a similar message will be sent to online MSN Messenger contacts. Don't help this worm propagate... don't click links to .pif files!
