MSN Messenger was the instant messaging client of choice for hackers, thieves and many types of malware in 2007.

The IM client received 45 percent of all malware threats -- more than double the amount any other service received, according to a report released yesterday by Foster City, Calif.-based security solution provider Facetime Communications. Yahoo received 20 percent, AOL Instant Messenger received 19 percent, and all other IM networks received 15 percent combined.
