An msn contact keeps sending me links such as

http://"my email/his email address".imagezshak.com

Which goes to a website asking for you to log in with your msn username and password, which is obviously a phishing attempt.

Does anyone know of any viruses that do this?

Yeah, their are plenty of viruses that do this. It is their end not yours. My friend had this recently, scan with Kapersky and killed it.
 
Not a lot you can do but yell at them until they get it sorted.

My girlfriend has this a lot with her contacts, and she chooses to just ignore it.
 
I've started to get these today as well from a couple of MSN contacts with my MSN username as the sub-domain of the link. Each link varies from each post and it's an obvious phishing attempt.

Nod32 hasn't picked up a virus and no adaware on my system according to "Superantispyware" other than some ad cookies. Running ie7 (w/ ie7pro) on Vista 64-bit.
 
Personally, I laugh at them and tell them how stupid they were. At which point they log off/block me and funnily enough, by the time they come back/unblock me, the problem has stopped :p
