I heard that gtalk users are getting a virus through a link to site heysan.com through gtalk IM. I too got a IM from a friend's account which I think sent by someone else. Any info? No need to worry for me as I use linux, but still want to know.

But if it is really spreading viruses, then who is responsible for that? Heysan duping it's users or someone has hacked their site?
