Wierd MSN messenger tracking cookie thing

I'm using MSN messenger beta 7.0.0425 (ads enabled). Ocasionally when I open the window from the system tray, a IE window opens and closes for a split second. I checked the history and found this:

Code:
http://esampler.tns-global.com/esampler/writetest.html?harvest,msn
Spyware scans do not see a problem, is this normal behaviour? Does it have something to do with the ads?

I'm going to try reinstalling MSN making sure I get it from the official source.

Re: Wierd MSN messenger tracking cookie thing

Could most likely be MSN BETA calling home with some form of diagnostic, I doubt its a issue but try to run the full error or link through google.com, and see what comes up.

I assume your using adaware and spybot?
