In this way, more registered MSN users are prone to economic losses.China has seen a booming instant messaging (IM) market with the success of MSN, Tecent's QQ, Yahoo Messengers and Skype. Statistics show that registered users of Skype in Chinese mainland have soared to over 25 million.Internet security problems have also been on a rise in the past three years, which are mainly triggered by a growing number of profit-driven computer virus writers, hackers and illegal traders, the Ministry of Public Security said last month.</blockquote>
