It re-directs you to the WeeMee site http://www.weeworld.com/
which is linked to MSN messenger etc, do you let messenger run from start up?

It's a connection for MSN messenger, there is a wee-me tab on messenger itself so when you run MSN messenger it will automatically make whatever connections it needs for the various tabs.

Re: Spyware or Virus ?

You can hide the tabs, open msn messenger, select tools, options, security and tell it to hide the tabs. I don't know if this will stop it opening the connections though but it's not spyware or a virus
