Red face Virus in MSN Messenger?

anyone heard of a virus doing the rounds in MSN - which seems to send itself via a MSN screen with the text of the message being "http://chatpr.org/msn.php?email=user@hotmail.com"

When you click on the link it asks to open or save a file, at which point I obviously cancel.

Not seen anything like this before. Virus defs up to date here and all clean.

Not much on Tinternet as yet on this - Anyone got any ideas?

There are quite a few of these in the wild most vendors have issued sig files

Anti-Virus Vendors are calling them different names
