yeah just don't click on it,
they may not be sending it becasue something look in the address book on the computer and automatically send themselves out using that person's email address.
just run a virus check and do not click the link again.

Make a new msn account and see if that gets rid of it.

Haha, I see why this was on the news.

All hope isn't lost, Microsoft has an apparent "tool" to remove it.

Then again, it's microsoft. It might work.

If you click it, then it will also be you sending the message to people without knowing. I know because one was sent to me. I think it stopped me from opening my spyware checker too.

Just don't click anything in the link and if there is a download, simply cancel it immediately. Probably a good idea to get mixed opinions so I see why you asked here :)
