Virus Spread through YM

Last night, I got pissed off with a YM friend who was endlessly sending list. That made me think there was something wrong with his account. Told him to log-out and I'll block his YM id from my list in the meantime. And, just a while ago, I receive similar links from another friend. Again, I informed her. I'm not sure if my PC has been afflicted of the virus already since I replied to these instant messages (currently running virus check). I guess, I won't be logging on to YM until I am completely sure that my PC's not afflicted.

In case you receive links with unusual or unfamiliar language, never reply, and never access the links! (just to be sure) Also, if you see something strange in the status of your YM friends, something's wrong again.

Here's a screen-cap/screen-grab of how the virus-spreader (for the lack of term) YM window looks like:
