When ever I start a conversation with someone this message is always in my comment box:
Never give out your password or credit card number in an instant message conversation. To help prevent infection by a computer virus or worm, never accept or open any file or link in an instant message until you verify its authenticity with the sender.

I know there is a way to get rid of it, but I can't figure it out!

Can anyone help me? Thanks!

What's the difference between regular msn and aMSN?

that message only appears at the start of convos. As soon as you've both typed a couple of lines it'll have been pushed out of the window.

It's just a security thing they've put in - probably some legal thing they had to include since so many kids use it.
I don't think there's a way to get rid of it, and I really don't think it's a problem. As far as I know it isn't saved in convo records, and it isn't on the screen for very long anyway.

Adium and aMSN work just fine for MSN convos - I'm pretty sure adium doesn't display that message and aMSN probably wouldn't either.

Unless you only have 3 line convos in MSN, there's no real reason to let it bother you, but as far as I know, you can't get rid of it for mac.

Here's a hint that describes how to remove the message:
