thanks dude ... i found this interesting (from the last link):
"The company found that 81 per cent of reported incidents included IM virus or worm propagation, of which 10 per cent were able to hijack file transfers. Thirteen per cent of incidents used known exploits, and 70 per cent targeted Microsoft's MSN service.
Yahoo followed behind with 18 per cent of reported incidents and AOL and ICQ shared the last 12 per cent.
The Kelvir, Bropia, and Bizex worms were reported as the top three most frequently detected IM infections in corporate environments. "
