Default What is this message? Virus? Hacker?

Whenever a co-worker of mine sends a message to me via MSN Messenger,
immediately following his message is the following:

@[fwpscript]Version:01.03.01.05|Icon:none|rsvp@[/fwpscript]

His screen does not show this as being sent, and I only get this from him.
Any idea what this is? A virus scan shows his system as being clean.

Greetings,

It's not a virus, it's spyware.

He needs to use Adaware (http://download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html) or SpyBot to kil this
(http://www.download.com/Spybot-Searc...10122137.html).
