Uh, first off, if you're using good antivirus, it shouldn't be an issue.
Secondly, if you're using hotmail, you can always turn on the spam filter
to exclusive, which should prevent those from being delivered into your
Inbox.

Greetings Dennis,

The prompt actually does nothing (neither does the option within MSN Messenger 6). If you
haven't received the verification e-mail with the verification link within 48-hours (yes
sometimes their can be a delay), you can request another one from Passport Services here:
