Save MSN display pictures.

Formerly known as MSN Messenger, Windows Live Messenger is an instant messaging program with many features like the ability to display a picture as your avatar while you chat. There isn't a way to save a friend's display picture by default so you must use a program that was designed to extend functionality to Windows Live Messenger. It is a one of a kind program. This program is named Messenger Plus! Live.
