Search the forum. The fix is posted. Or go the Spyware/Adware Precautionary sticky and view the last page or second last page. The help is listed there.

hmm ok actually my friend sent me tis link "www.msn-check-status.tk"....(dont click this link!!)....it claims to reveal who deleted me from MSN, n how stupid of me to actually try it n it actually works..

after that my MSN keeps relogging , claiming someone using my MSN on another comp. then i reboot comp, log in n some of my friends complain they receive this link..

other than this , my lappie seems norm.

Sorry, miss your question.

For MSN Messenger 7 onwards, if you don't upgrade, you will not be able to log in, unless you don't have administrator privileges to install a newer version of MSN.
