I'd guess that if you have someone in your list and that is infected
and there is a security hole in your msn that allows some remote
person to execute commands (like send messages to your list) an
"automatic" infection might happen. That is very improbable though.
People usually get infected by executing received files (usually
through "phishing" methods") like jen exposed in the article.
