I don't think MSN would be a site that had spyware either tbh.
They have cookies but that's about it AFAIK.
Does anyone else use your pc?

To be fair though - it's so easy to control that it's not really a huge worry, you just need free software, easily downloadable - there are some old threads around about the best free ones to install.
