MSN Messenger Virus

Hi all,
i was quite oblivious to the msn messenger virus out there..but just a couple of days ago, my friends account sent me a couple of links like http://87883.CoolGalleryz.com/?user=email&pic=DSC00425.JPG and i clicked it. if i recall...the website asked for my email address and my password, and then i just closed it after i saw what it was asking for. so i am wondering if my mac, or my messenger/account is infected with the virus from just clicking on the link. its been 2 days and im on messenger now, and i havent heard anyone saying that ive been sending them random links..

thanks a lot

Hi all,

I'm having some prob with MSN messenger and gmail. Recently my friends told me that I've sent them offline msg via MSN advertising some links. I was shocked and quite disappointed as I thought Mac should be safe from all these. How do I detect the problem and fix it?? I've tried scanning but found nothing. THe same problem goes to my gmail account. It sends out email to all my contact list advertising some link as well..

pls help.. as i dont know much about Mac

thnx..
