Might also be worth pointing out that you should never stick your password into any website/application other than those for which it is intended.
For instance, these websites that show you who's blocked you on MSN.. or that will import your MSN contacts and send the invites for whatever. None of these do what they suggest and harvest your information to 'spread' themselves.
Always, always be weary of links sent to you for anything, even if it's come from a 'friend'. It's entirely possible that it HASNT come from your friend and is infact a result of the aforementioned sites.
p.s. I know i'm a noob on this site but this is my profession and I work in the Web Hosting Industry so figured I'd share :)

good points. Grouply is a classic.
If you get a link from a "friend" best thing to do is ask your mate if they sent you it.
