I have always wondered how many big syndicates and governments actually push their malware via the msn homepage.
(Given that 99% of sysadmins will at some point be forced via msn, on the malware-portal that is Internet Explorer, to install a proper browser).
I really think, even if this isn't happening at scale, that this would be a great way to pwn even some of the biggest firms.

Scareware is distributed via ads on MSN. Normal users cant even close them, as soon as you close that ad it opens again, have to quit IE in the task manager to get rid of it.
