Think About this scenario

A few virus writers and hackers get together, cos they collectively want to
get back at Bill Gates for putting a bounty on their heads

So they hack msn for a few hours and put up a bogus upgrade

which doesn't look right and doesn't work properly if at all

but they don't have much time to do it, which is why at 7am this morning UK
time neither of my machines could run MSN So I upgraded one only and
realised within minutes that I had made a mistake So cleared that machine,
and 2 hours later tried this machine and got straight on no prob without
upgrading

Think about it, it makes sense, not that MS would prolly admit it
