Everytime i use messenger live i keep getting file transfers popping up from one of my contacts but they havent sent the file. Have I got a virus or is this coming from there end? Do they have virus? All my antivirus and spyware software is upto date.And I also have all of windows updates. I am using new computer and have run all the scans i need. These files that i get are "ZIP" files. I havent accepted them as i dont know what they are. But I am worried that my contacts computer might be infected and possibly infected other people.
Please help!
Thanks for your time

Having problems with messenger live?network security
Sounds like your contact PC is infected with a virus. I would block the transfer of the data. If you have the data I hope that you received to "save". If you really have good antivirus, you can open and scan with your antivirus/antispyware, before you allow the compressed file to unzip. (If your antivirus does not have the techology to scan all types of compressed data I suggest you delete the file without a scan.).
My antivirus will kill the file in transfer, before the data tfr., is completed. http://www.filseclab.com
