There a few around, there is a very recent one which uses a JPG exploit in Internet Explorer. But now it’s rather hard for MSN Messenger 6, and one of the possible reasons MSN Messenger 4.6 and below was blocked because it exposed an programming API which would make it a breeze to create viruses.

http://www.happy-messaging.com/messenger/virus/ has some information.
