Microsoft has temporarily turned off links (=made links appear as normal text instead of them being clickable) in Windows Live Messenger 2009 clients. Reason behind this is currently actively in instant messaging and social networks spreading worm. "The worm spreads by inserting a link into an IM conversation with a person whose computer is already infected. When someone clicks the link, it opens in a browser, downloads the worm on the recipient’s computer, and then repeats this process."
New Messenger 2011 isn't known to be affected in the same way thanks to its "Link Safety" feature.
