Spamming MSN Users

Although we have many MSN users here, you might just want to watch out if you're going to use MSN Explorer. If you install the program and the mail services, it asks you if you want to notify people in your Outlook addressbook about the email change. If you do so, the mail program will send around messages which contains pretty much an advertisement for the MSN Explorer. Basically you are spamming your friends. As usual, Microsoft is denying it's doing anything wrong. Here's what's being sent out

"I recently began using a new product from Microsoft called MSN Explorer," the message begins. "With MSN Explorer, you can send and receive e-mail, exchange instant messages with me and the millions of other people who use MSN Explorer, browse the Web and much more. MSN Explorer even offers an exciting new look for using the Web and makes it easy to find and play music online. Want to try it out? It's FREE!
