One of MSN's advertisers has elected to use a form of advetising that contains a phish.  Norton detects and Blocks it.  We have recieved numerous reports of people attempting to copy paste and finding a link containing this on their clipboard   xp-vista-update.net/?id=31863...   The link containing this is not a Windows update site.  Do not click it!!  It is an attempt to get you to download crap.  Commonly called a Phish site.  Make sure your clipboard is set to prompt and your anti-virus is updated.   I doubt MSN is aware of the problem.  Most Pay per click advettising is done on a self serve basis.  Hopefully they will revoke the party responsible's advertising account soon.   Screenshot follows:
