Odd Windows messenger problem

I was talking to PC_PIMP on MSN Messenger last night, and all of a sudden, it randomly tries to send him some picture of a naked person. Ive never seen this in my life, and it was disturbing. The it sent him a picture of some rocks or something. Im not sure if this is a WLM virus or what, but it scared the shit out of me.
 
So your messenger sent him things? Which version of messenger are you using?

Since messenger is so common, there had always been messenger viruses popping up everywhere. Have you tried searching on google for similar instances that others may have reported?

Im using windows live messenger, but these arent even pics on my computer. (AKA, i dont have pics of men on my comp, i dont swing that way, thats disgusting, nor did i have the picture of rocks). I am searching on the internet now desperately for some info on this odd occurance.

They were actually pictures, one was very disgustingly graphic. It's doing it in every WLM convo im having now too I'm beginning to think something installed itself on my machine.
 
Problem has been taken care of. I ran some scans, and AVG picked up something called trojan.picdropper. It's not in their database or the encyclopedia, but it fixed it and the problem is gone. Spyware doctor also pulled up a lot of stuff too.
