   Reviewing 2012 16.4.3503 (Aug 9, 2012)

   I've used Live messenger & MSN before that since day one & have never had any security issues whatsoever - Live is the best stand alone instant messenger client around by far.
   
   If you have malware problems look elsewhere than live, unless of course you are stupid enough to click on any URL you get sent but that applies throughout the internet, some however get infected because of pure stupidity on a regular basis.
   
   There is a small ad remover & can block or enhance parts of live messenger that works well: Link below -

   v.16.4.3503 is designed to work with Win7 and Win8 only.
   For older OS's you should use v.15.4

   Live Writer is good, perhaps one of the best offline blogging tools there is. Messenger... meh... it's ok but it just seems to get bigger, more ads, more poxy animated icons that people send me in messages and nothing of any real value.
   
   The main reason I don't use these tools and will never again use these tools, is the security issue. They're not insecure in and of themselves as far as I'm aware. Just having them on your system though makes you an easy target - the amount of people I know who have managed to pick up some malware that exploits their hotmail, their messenger contacts and blogs is just crazy.
   
   Download and enjoy their tools but also expect to pick up some malware soon after
