It's come to my attention that there has been some spoofing emails going the rounds disguised as official emails from Microsoft advertising a new version of Messenger dubbed 9.5
We at Messenger Stuff would like to warn people not to open or follow any links in these emails and instead report them as junk and/or spam as well as delete them.
Currently there is no Messenger 9.5 available in public or private beta testing so for the sake of your computer's health do not open or download anything from these emails It's highly likely to only lead you to a virus, worm, spyware, malware or other nasty that really you don't want on your computer.
Take care. We'll have news covering the Messenger Plus! Live skinning contest and our favourite entries coming soon.

Valentine's Day is a big day for virus creators. They pray on e-mails containing e-cards, links to website about love and of course by tempting people do discover a 'secret admirer' by downloading a infected program.
The FBI have even warned about a virus going around, and have issued a press statement about the Storm Worm. It says:
Just remember; be careful, don't click on any suspicious links contacts send you within Messenger and don't accept file downloads unless you know what they are.

If you unexpectedly receive a Valentine's Day e-card, be careful. It may not be from a secret admirer, but instead might contain the Storm Worm virus.
The Storm Worm virus has capitalized on various holidays in the last year by sending millions of e-mails advertising an e-card link within the text of the spam e-mail. Valentine's Day has been identified as the next target.
Just remember; be careful, don't click on any suspicious links contacts send you within Messenger and don't accept file downloads unless you know what they are.
