Beware of MSN Messenger webcam invites
If you run MSN Messenger version 7.mumble or earlier, someone can reportedly take over your machine if you accept a webcam invite.
The good news is that I haven't seen reports of bad guys taking advantage of this yet. On the other hand, there's sample code out there already to do it, so it's just a matter of time.
Don't accept webcam invites until you upgrade to version 8.1.
