MSN: A white box under DP? June 13, 2008

I fire up MSN as usual, and notice something strange.
A white box is appearing under some of my friend’s Display Pictures, but not others.
It doesn’t do anything when clicked, there are no options, and it just sits there next to the webcam and option buttons.
What could it be? A status box? A new feature? A secondary DP?
I have no idea. Maybe readers or Mess.be can throw some light on it.
Update: Aaron_S has pointed out that it’s an office icon in the 9.0 beta. That still leaves the question, what’s it doing in the current build? What is it’s function?
Update 2: Microsoft say it’s just a bug [http://messengersays.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!5B410F7FD930829E!37203.entry]
I have the same thing as do about 5 or 6 of my online contacts :S
So far no one can find out what it is
IT IS A VIRUS, YOU HAVE TO FORMAT YOUR HDD AS FAST AS POSSIBLE BEFOR IT SHREDS YOUR BIOS AND THEN YOUR PC IS FUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NO JOKE
It is a Office icon if you have the 9.0beta version and it NOT!!!! a virus.. and it nothing to worry about if you can get 9.0beta it will b a icon…
haha Aarons suggestion makes more sense.
must be a new feature…tho im inclined to think its a bug…
everyone i know has it under their display pic too (of their friend)
sorry, meant to say…if u double click it twice it expands the conversation box
Double clicking anywhere on your msn window outline expands the conversation box =/
Lol poor Lauren =P
If u click outline the box it expands anyways…
If u click outside the box it expands anyways…
i think it’s the webcam function…
