Virus maybe? Or maybe only you have slow connection when signing into msn? Tried to do any downloads to check the speed?

Live Messenger download is up & down quite frequent. I was suffering from the same early this month. Try rebooting the PC and modem and secure a different IP and you may be in luck.

Usually bad ip will give bad connection. Like me got 60. host dota will lag after some time. Keep restart your modem till get good ip.
