Closing an MSN Account
I need to close an MSN Account but I can not find how to do it. I need it to be completely gone. Not logging on will not solve the problem!
Also, I would like to first save the contact list if this is possible. I tried this and it looked like it had saved, but would then not open on my pc.
Many thanks.

Just change the password on the account

Yes it would as the spammers won't be able to access their accounts. As Chuck says, they have been stupid enough to enter their details in sites like this:
http://www.square-bear.co.uk/mitsuku/msn.htm
I created that as an experiment to show people how easy it was to trick people and soon got 8 genuine msn logins and passwords. Naturally, I didn't do anything with them but informed the user how stupid they had been.
Advise your son NEVER to enter details in sites like the one above and to tell his contacts.

ooh, that was naughty, squarebear!!
anyway, my son was receiving IM messages like, "(his name), there are photos of you here", he clicked on the link and it was porn, and now his IM sends out porn constantly by the same method. it's happened to lots of his friends and at school it seems to be known as a virus.
I'm pretty sure he didn't give out his log in details.
